Prior to the eighth round in Spielberg, Campos Racing announced on 6 July that Roberto Merhi would make his Formula 2 comeback by replacing Swiss driver Ralph Boschung due to the effects of a neck injury sustained at the third round in Imola. At the age of 31 years, Merhi became the oldest driver to compete in a Formula 2 round.[1]
In addition, Van Amersfoort Racing driver Amaury Cordeel made his comeback after his ban in the previous round in Silverstone following the collection of 12 penalty points.
