F2 sprint race postponed at Spa

As the rain continued, the start to the Formula 2 sprint race was gradually pushed back, until after 50 minutes of delays it was announced the race had been postponed.

The race was scheduled to start at 14:15 local time, but as rain continued to hit the track Bernd Maylander completed a lap in the safety car and deemed the track unsafe.

ART driver Zak O’Sullivan was set to start on pole as part of the reverse grid start for F2 sprint races, but it was Paul Aron who set the fastest time in qualifying and will start tomorrow’s feature race on pole.

The sprint race has been rescheduled for 18:15 local time, providing conditions do not worsen at Spa.
