Background

Charles Leclerc, once again, entered the round as the championship leader with a significant margin over nearest rival, Oliver Rowland. Rowland had closed the gap in the previous round in Hungary, but nevertheless was still 54 points behind the Monégasque driver.
For this round, Rapax had inherited an entirely new driver lineup with Sergio Canamasas and Nyck de Vries making way for Louis Delétraz and Roberto Merhi. Nyck de Vries and Louis Delétraz effectively switched seats with de Vries going from Rapax to Racing Engineering and Delétraz vice versa.
