    Half points and a count back on positions for the previous two laps. Will Mick Schumacher get the third place spot? He was in fourth at the end of lap one, and took third around the third/forth lap.

    Count back was to lap 5 so still a podium. Glad both drivers were okay after that accident, it was horrifying to watch real time. Aitken said he had a puncture and basically went straight on. I wonder if the puncture happened when he started to squeeze Ghiotto

    Jesus, a few years ago and different barriers things might have been very different - glad that they're both OK!

    Both Mick Schumacher and Callum Ilott to get a run in the F1 FP1 sessions at the Efiel grand Prix in two weeks. One in the Alfa, and the other in Haas. Schwartzman will get to run also in the FP1 session at the Abu Dhabi grand Prix weekend.

    Will be good to see how they perform.

    Schumacher had really come on in the last few races. Send to be like his f3 championship where he didn't take the lead until the second half of the season. It's good championship to lose now.

    I expected more of Schwartzman tbh but he really has found it hard in the last couple of rounds.

    The calendar next year shortcut for cost measurements. F3 and F2 not racing at the same tracks anymore together.

    Feature Race is at 9.10am Saturday morning.

    Ilott needs a win with Schumacher not scoring too many points to run this battle of to Sunday morning's Sprint Race... Only 18 points between them.

    It's about two things this weekend during the final two races, the championship win for the top two, and position in the standings to get super license points. Tsunoda needs to retain 3rd place to get a drive opportunity in F1 next year. Lungaard, Mazepin and Swartzmann are only trailing 3rd place by between 2-7 points. Fun times ahead...

    Edit. SORRY, my bad, there's two more races next weekend on the outer track! So lots of points to play for for all the top 6 drivers!!

    A real champion smashes in this situation into his contender and not some unrelated bystander. Lesson to be learned

    That was some sprint race. Only 2 points gained by Schumacher. Ilott will in deed learn from that one.

    Tomorrow's Sprint race, and next week's race weekend sessions to go.
    So, there are five drivers in contention for the title with one race left. If only things were similar in F1.

    Pos.|Driver|PTS
    1|M. Schumacher|205
    2|C. Ilott|191
    3|N. Mazepin|162
    4|R. Shwartzman|159
    5|Y. Tsunoda|157
    6|C. Lundgaard|145


    Next weekend has 40 points from the two races. There's a point available for fastest lap in each race as well as 4 points for pole. It'd be a stretch for Mazepin to win the championship being 43 points behind with only 46 on offer!

    It really is the top two in contention, while 3rd place is a big battle between the other four drivers! It'll be an interesting weekend.

    Tsunoda needs 3rd ideally but 5th may suffice.

    Great feature race there. Tsunoda, Zhou and Schumacher the standouts.

    Mazepin’s going to be entertaining next season somewhat

    Pretty wild finish to that one. Mazepin seems intent on shoving someone in the wall.

    Great race to watch, glad Mick didn't lose many poins for the championship.
    So Haas swapping a driver that crashes a lot for a driver that tries to put other drivers in the wall.

    Great feature race alright, What a finish!
    Mazepin has form for overly aggressive defensive moves. He's very unlikeable imo

    Schumacher starting at the front for the sprint race tomorrow and giving away no points to Illott after starting 18th. That is a massive recovery

    Mazepin was driving overly dangerous in my opinion. He seemed to go that 10% too much. Some of those moves could've ended very badly

    Mazepin was way too aggressive in defending. Definitely did not leave a car's width. He was handed two penalties which bumped him down to finish 9th in the race classification. He also lost out dropping a place in the standings to 5th.

    Sprint race at 12.20. Ilott needs a win with Schumacher not scoring points to clinch the championship. There's 14 points between them.

    It's a bit of a big question to ask of Ilott while Schumacher starts ahead in 3rd and Ilott in 4th. Dan Tictum to start on pole based on revised reverse grid with Mazepin starting 9th.

    Don't forget there's 2 points for fastest lap on offer as well. A top 6 finish is enough for Mick regardless of what Ilott does
