Was Formula 2’s radical format switch a success?

Going into the 2021 Formula 2 season the biggest talking point wasn’t about any drivers or teams, but the new race weekend format. Created partly out of financial necessity but also to spice up the action, the Bahrain opener provided a snapshot of the positives and negatives to come.

After watching the opening round in Bahrain you could easily make a compelling case to argue that Formula 2 is the most entertaining category in motorsport right now.

The Formula 1 feeder series kicked off last weekend with some gusto. Its new radical weekend format produced three exciting races, three different race winners with two of those victories claimed by rookies.
