Azerbaijan Grand Prix – Victory for Vesti
Frederik Vesti emerged victorious this morning on the streets of Baku for the first time in Formula 2. Jehan Daruvala, who led for a long time, finished in second place ahead of Liam Lawson.
What race did we have in Baku once again in Formula 2.
Jehan Daruvala was able to take the lead of the race at turn 1, benefiting from Jake Hughes who plummeted down the rankings throughout the race.
It took until the 14th lap out of 21 to see some action. Dennis Hauger, on his Prema, tried to overtake Théo Pourchaire but missed and ended up hitting the wall. The Safety Car made its first appearance.
On the restart, Enzo Fittipaldi attempts a complicated maneuver on Juri Vips and both drivers end up in the run-off area of turn 2. Retirement for the grandson of the world champion. New Safety Car.
On the restart, Jehan Daruvala is overtaken by Frederik Vesti and a few meters later, Richard Verschoor ends up in the wall. New Safety Car.
At the restart for the final lap, a big collision occurred at the back between Calan Williams, Ralph Boschung, Marino Sato, and Cem Bolukbasi…
Frederik Vesti, aboard his ART, took advantage of the Safety Car to secure his first victory of the season. He finished ahead of Jehan Daruvala and Liam Lawson, who started from ninth place on the grid!
Great comeback for Théo Pourchaire who started in twelfth position, he was fourteenth after the first lap. He climbed up to seventh place.
Clément Novalak, the other Frenchman, finishes in fourteenth place.
Appointment tomorrow morning at 9:00 for the main race!
