The championship leader Charles Leclerc was due to make history in Formula 2 with his seventh consecutive pole - the first driver in the series history ever to set the benchmark. He later got disqualified due to a technical breach and was forced to start from the back of the grid. Thus, Oliver Rowland inherited pole position, which became his first and only pole position of the season.
