Richard Verschoor clinched his fourth Formula 2 race victory during the Azerbaijan feature race, becoming the 16th different winner of the season. The race was marred by a significant crash at the start involving drivers Pepe Marti and Kush Maini, leading to a 34-minute delay before a timed restart. Verschoor, who started from pole position after a thrilling qualifying session, held off pressure from ART's Victor Martins and was aided by a late safety car to secure the win. In the qualifying session, Verschoor narrowly beat Andrea Kimi Antonelli by just 0.017 seconds to take pole, while championship leader Isack Hadjar crashed out, starting the race from P15. The changing dynamics of the championship now see Gabriel Bortoleto leading the standings after a quiet fourth-place finish. As the season progresses, the competitive landscape continues to evolve ahead of the final two rounds.
