Lusail tightened the title fight to a knife edge. Bearman won the Sprint from pole ahead of Crawford and Verschoor, with late contact involving Antonelli and Maini, Goethe out early with engine failure, and Aron and Miyata both collecting grid penalties for causing collisions. The Feature became the weekend's pivot. Aron won from pole for his maiden F2 victory, but the story was the penalty that decided it: Bortoleto, instructed to stay out because he could not serve his mandatory stop under a VSC, was handed a five-second penalty for a pit-entry violation, dropping him to third and handing Aron the win, with Hadjar promoted to second. Verschoor collected heavy penalties for an unsafe release and an unauthorised unlapping, Martins finished on the road but went unclassified for falling short of race distance, and Crawford and Antonelli both crashed out. The fallout was dramatic: Bortoleto's lost win shrank his championship advantage over Hadjar to just half a point heading into the finale, with Aron still mathematically in contention in third. The 2024 title would come down to the very last weekend at Yas Island.
