Nikola Tsolov officially retained victory in the 2026 Formula 2 Austrian Grand Prix Feature Race after the final classification was amended following a post-race penalty for Martinius Stenshorne at the Red Bull Ring.
The Rodin Motorsport driver received a 30-second time penalty after serving his mandatory pit stop during a Virtual Safety Car period. Under Formula 2 regulations, a stop made under VSC conditions does not satisfy the mandatory pit stop requirement, resulting in his demotion in the final results.
The revised classification promoted Alex Dunne to sixth place, while Noel Leon, Laurens van Hoepen, Joshua Durksen and Roman Bilinski each gained one position and inherited additional championship points.
Championship leader Gabriele Mini finished second to maintain the top spot in the drivers' standings, with Oliver Goethe completing the podium. Tsolov's fourth victory of the 2026 campaign further reduces the gap in the title fight heading into the next Formula 2 round.
