• Source: 2024 Yas Island Formula 2 round

      • The 2024 Yas Island Formula 2 round was a motor racing event that held between 6 and 8 December 2024 at the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was the final round of the 2024 Formula 2 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
      Gabriel Bortoleto won the drivers' title after finishing second in the Feature Race behind eventual race winner Joshua Dürksen. His nearest rival Isack Hadjar suffered a problem at the start already, which caused him to drop down to the back of the field with no chance of making a comeback. Bortoleto is the fourth rookie in the modern Formula 2 era to win the championship and the fourth driver after Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Oscar Piastri to win both Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships in consecutive seasons as a rookie.
