Hmmmmm..

..not sure about how much read across to F1 there will be given F2 tyre management needs, but I'm not seeing closer racing in F2 as a result of the circuit changes - a few on track overtakes, but getting into and making use of DRS still seems a struggle.

That didn’t look good did it.. hope it’s better in race 2.

Congratulations to Piastri, a well-deserved champion!

Race looked great from where I was watching - turn 6/7 chicane!

Even Piastri expressing frustration on not getting a drive; "champion of sitting on the couch" next year!

Piastri... no need!

Looks like he's gone home and given the keys to his car to max verstappen!

Have we had a full racing lap yet?

[JonChalk]

A bit closer, but overtaking still looks difficult.

Zhou's in-race radio message commiserating with Armstrong was quite nice.

Agreed a real y drive there. Not a drive of a champion.

F2 feature race about to go off, last race of their season and still plenty of championship positions up for grabs behind Piastri and probably Shwartzman.

That was chaotic. Doohan was swamped on the slower tyre.

[Sandpit Steve]

Great win for Piastri, to seal off a brilliant F2 season.

He’s obviously not hungry, as he left the doughnuts for the crowd!

How did Ticktum manage to get away with gaining five places off track on the first lap?
