Just switched on SKY F1 and they are showing an F2 Practice session.
Is F2 a new class or have they just renamed GP2?
In the commentary they still refer to GP3 so I am a bit confused :erm:
The FIA Formula 2 Championship[1] is a form of open wheel motor racing introduced in 2017 following the rebranding of the long-term Formula One feeder series, GP2 Series.
Jenson Button to race in Monaco.
Jenson Button will return to F1 to race in the Monaco GP as Fernando Alonso's stand-in, McLaren have confirmed.
Alonso's unexpected move to compete in next month's Indianapolis 500 has presented McLaren with the opportunity to draft Button back in for F1's showpiece race, just five months after he started a sabbatical.
The two-year deal Button signed with McLaren last autumn allowed him to take 2017 off from F1 competition, but included the proviso that he could be drafted back in as cover if one of the team's race drivers was absent.
"I'm thrilled to be making a one-off return to Formula 1 racing, and I couldn't think of a better place to make that return than my adopted home Grand Prix: Monaco," Button said.
"I'm looking forward to pitting myself against the unique racing challenge that is the Monaco Grand Prix. I'll drive the MCL32 around Monaco in the McLaren sim beforehand, and I reckon I'll be ready for the race after doing that.
