2017 Budapest Formula 2 round

The 2017 Hungaroring FIA Formula 2 round was a pair of motor races held on 29 and 30 July 2017 at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, Hungary as part of the FIA Formula 2 Championship. It was the seventh round of the 2017 FIA Formula 2 Championship and was run in support of the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix.

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.
