Formula 2 follows quickly on from its French Grand Prix weekend by supporting Formula 1 at this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.
On form
New championship leader, Nyck de Vries is certainly on form having managed to score thirty one points in Monaco and a further twenty seven in France.
Also on form coming into the Austrian Grand Prix weekend is Sergio Sette Camara who scored nineteen points in Monaco and twenty eight in France.

In need of a result
Although he managed fourteen points across the two races in France, Nicholas Latifi will need to outscore de Vries in Austria to cut into the twelve points that separate the two.

Another driver needing a strong performance is Mick Schumacher who has failed to score points in the previous three rounds.
