F2 sprint race postponed as heavy rain falls at Spa-Francorchamps
The F2 sprint race at the Belgian Grand Prix has been postponed due to extreme levels of rainfall at Spa-Francorchamps. As was the case for the F3 sprint race at Silverstone, which was also postponed due to rain, there is a chance that the 18 laps could be run following Formula 1 qualifying, should conditions allow it. For the partially reversed-grid race, ART driver Zak O’Sullivan had been set to start from pole position with MP Motorsport’s Dennis Hauger joining him on the front row.
Fellow challenger Gabriel Bortoleto and points leader Isack Hadjar would have started from ninth and eighth respectively. The announcement of the postponement came after 50 minutes of delays in beginning the starting procedure, with the 22-car field kept in the pitlane while the safety car sat on the start straight.
