Source-derived summary

The 2019 Sochi FIA Formula 2 round consisted of a pair of Formula Two motor races that took place on 28 and 29 September 2019 at the Sochi Autodrom in Sochi, Russia. It was the eleventh and penultimate round of the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship.

Nyck de Vries of ART Grand Prix set the fastest time in qualifying for the feature race. He won the feature race, and won the driver's championship with three races remaining in the season. In the sprint race that followed, Italian Luca Ghiotto took the victory for Virtuosi Racing ahead of de Vries.

Background

The event was held at the Sochi Autodrom in Sochi across the weekend of 28–29 September 2019. The Grand Prix was the eleventh and penultimate round of the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship.

Entrants

In the aborted race in the round at Spa-Francorchamps, a multiple-car pileup resulted in the death of Anthoine Hubert of Arden and seriously injured Juan Manuel Correa of Charouz Racing. The incident also involved Giuliano Alesi of Trident Racing. While all three teams involved in the accident ran only one car rather than the usual two in the previous race at Monza, the teams resorted back to the two-drive line-up for the race.

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 31, 2025.

Critical limits
