The 2022 Monza FIA Formula 2 round was a motor racing event held between 9 and 11 September 2022 at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Monza, Italy. It was the penultimate race of the 2022 Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.
Despite retiring in the sprint race, Felipe Drugovich became the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Drivers' Champion with three races to spare. His nearest championship rival, Théo Pourchaire, finished in seventeenth and therefore failed to score the required four points in order to remain in contention for the title. Drugovich's championship victory was the first for an MP Motorsport driver in Formula 2.
Driver changes
[edit]Luca Ghiotto replaced Roy Nissany at DAMS, due to the Israeli driver receiving a race ban after exceeding the annual limit of twelve penalty points on his race licence following the Zandvoort round.[1]
