The 2022 Spa-Francorchamps FIA Formula 2 round was a motor racing event held between 26 and 28 August 2022 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Stavelot, Belgium. It was the eleventh round of the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix.
After competing in the previous two rounds, David Beckmann was announced to replace Jake Hughes at Van Amersfoort Racing for the remainder of the season.[1] Beckmann was partnered by Amaury Cordeel, who returned to the series after serving his ban during the Hungary round.
Campos Racing driver Olli Caldwell was suspended from the eleventh round at Spa-Francorchamps after incurring twelve penalty points across the first ten rounds. This was second time a driver received a race ban in 2022, following Cordeel's in the previous round. Caldwell was replaced by Lirim Zendeli, who last raced in 2021 for MP Motorsport.[2] [3] Zendeli partnered Ralph Boschung, who returned from an extended period of injury.[4]
Cem Bölükbaşı terminated his contract with Charouz Racing System by mutual consent prior to the Spa-Francorchamps round. His seat was taken by IndyCar Series racer Tatiana Calderón, who returned to Formula 2 after competing for BWT Arden in 2019.[5]
Felipe Drugovich took his third pole position of this season by nearly four tenths of a second, ahead of fellow Brazilian driver Enzo Fittipaldi and Logan Sargeant.[6]
