A pre-season test was held over three days from 24–26 February at theCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. During the test,DAMS,Rodin Motorsport andTrident were found to have illegally modified their cars by drilling into thediffusers to attach sensors. As a result, all six drivers driving for the three teams received ten-place grid penalties for both races of the opening round in Australia.[36]
The season began atAlbert Park Circuit, whereGabriele Minì set the fastest qualifying time. However, he was later penalised for impeding during the session, promotingVictor Martins to feature racepole position.[37]Leonardo Fornaroli qualified tenth, therefore starting the reverse-grid sprint race from first place, but was overtaken byJoshua Dürksen at the race start. Martins crashed on the opening lap, and the race was later interrupted by twosafety car periods when Trident driversMax Esterson andSami Meguetounif spun into the gravel in separate incidents. Dürksen maintained his lead at the restarts to claim victory, his third in the category, followed by Formula 2 debutant Fornaroli in second place andLuke Browning in third.[38]
The feature race was cancelled due to heavy rain. Two attempts were made to start the race, with drivers following the safety car over a number offormation laps, however the session was ultimatelyred-flagged and not resumed.[39] At the end of the round, Dürksen's sprint race victory left him with a two-point advantage over Fornaroli in the Drivers' Championship.

If the driver who set the fastest lap is classified outside the top ten, the point is given to the driver who set the fastest lap of those inside the top ten. No extra points are awarded to the pole-sitter in the sprint race as the grid for it is set by reversing the top ten qualifiers.
