F2: Sochi Sprint Race 1 postponed (Update)

Following today’s postponement of FIA Formula 2 Sprint Race 1 at Sochi Autodrom, a new timetable has been issued. The race will now take place at 16.45 local time.

There will be no Sprint Race 2. The Feature Race will take place tomorrow at 11.20 local time, with the starting grid determined by Friday’s Qualifying results.

Due to adverse weather conditions at the Sochi Autodrom, FIA Formula 2 Sprint Race 1 has been postponed.

The race was set to get underway at 10:30am local time on Saturday morning, however the wet track surface forced the pit lane opening to be delayed while track conditions were monitored.

With circumstances not letting up, the opening race of the weekend was postponed. Heavy rain is set to fall at the track until roughly 1:30pm local time, with the forecast projecting its intensity to decrease into the afternoon.
