DRUGOVICH EXTENDS F2 LEAD
Felipe Drugovich stretched his FIA Formula 2 championship lead to 43 points after two topfour finishes at Spa while his closest challenger Theo Pourchaire retired from the feature race.
ART driver Pourchaire entered the round 21 points shy of Drugovich after a fruitful Hungaroring weekend, though in Spa’s sprint race MP Motorsport’s Drugovich made points ground by finishing fourth to Pourchaire’s sixth. Carlin’s Liam Lawson dominated the race.
Virtuosi’s Jack Doohan won the feature race comfortably the following day, with polesitter Drugovich claiming 20 points for finishing runner-up, 1.9 seconds shy. Pourchaire meanwhile got nothing after retiring with a technical issue.
Doohan started fourth and jumped to second with a great start, then got the lead from Drugovich via a pit undercut.
Drugovich said: “Starting from pole, you always want to win. We need to be happy, very good points for the championship.”
