The race featured the deployment of the Safety Car right on the first lap, after a collision between Sebastián Montoya and Rafael Villagómez, who retired. Emmo Fittipaldi hit debris on the track and punctured a tire, forcing a pit stop. On lap 27, Mari Boya’s engine exploded, forcing the driver to stop on track and causing the race control to activate the Virtual Safety Car.
The next round of Formula 2 is scheduled for next weekend, when the category heads to England for the double-header at the Silverstone circuit.
