Schumacher Formula 2 Champion

Mick Schumacher won the title of world champion with today's eighteenth place in the last Formula 2 race. The German started the race solidly and then blocked the front tire in the fourth turn, causing him to make an unplanned stop at the end of the nineteenth lap. At that moment, it seemed that Ilott would still get a chance for the title. But the Englishman failed to catch up with the leading racer and slipped a little further down the ladder. The last race of this year, which again served with a very interesting event, was won by Jehan Daruvala in front of Yuki Tsunoda. They were joined on stage by Dan Ticktum. Fourth place was taken by Guanyu Zhou. The only remaining candidate for the title is Callum Ilott, who otherwise needed a victory for the title and the German's resignation finished the race in the tenth month.
