Among these, the Ayumu Iwasa victory on the circuit of Abu Dhabi, with the Japanese able to maintain the leadership of the race from the green light to the checkered flag. Nothing to do for the new champion Felipe Drugovichwho after a good start tried to take advantage of the pit stop strategy to try to overtake Iwasa in the final stages of the race with a duel to the limit, failing to end his experience in F2 with a victory.
