FIA Formula 2 Championship

Bulgarian driver Nikola Tsolov posts the ninth-fastest time in Formula 2 free practice at Barcelona after briefly topping the timesheets in a disrupted session. The outing offers a solid platform for qualifying as he builds on momentum from his recent Monaco win.

Pirelli will remain Formula 1’s sole tyre supplier until at least the end of 2028 after the FIA exercised an option in the Italian company’s existing contract. The extension also secures tyre supply for Formula 2 and Formula 3 and reshapes the timeline for any future rivals.
