Montréal delivered drama from the start. Van Hoepen took a maiden pole for Trident in a qualifying session hit by two red flags after crashes for Goethe and Inthraphuvasak at Turn 4, while grid penalties for impeding shuffled Câmara and Dunne back for both races. In the Sprint, León produced a superb fightback to take his maiden F2 win for Campos. After contact dropped him early, he carved back through the order and seized the lead from Minì at a Safety Car restart, winning by around 3.7 seconds. Minì finished second and Stenshorne third in a race littered with incidents, two Safety Cars and a late VSC; Dürksen, Tsolov and Dunne all collected penalties. Minì took over the championship lead. The damp, cold Feature Race was even more chaotic and finished under the Safety Car. Pole-sitter van Hoepen crashed out early, handing control to the Rodin pair, and a string of incidents in the pit window and beyond eliminated Fittipaldi, Bennett, Villagómez, Câmara, Beganovic, Goethe and Miyata. Stenshorne took the net lead at the restart and held on for a maiden win and a Rodin one-two ahead of Dunne, with Minì third. Câmara, León and Tsolov were among the penalised. Minì extended his points lead.
