DRUGOVICH NEARS F2 TITLE WITH ANOTHER VICTORY

Brazilian racer Felipe Drugovich has moved to within touching distance of the FIA Formula 2 crown by claiming the feature race victory in Zandvoort last weekend.

The MP Motorsport man kept calm in a dramatic race on

Sunday that had been punctuated by a red flag and two safety car periods to claim his fifth victory of the campaign.

Drugovich held off a challenge from

Jack Doohan early on. However, Doohan was ruled out when he was involved in contact during one of the safety car periods.

That meant Drugovich led home Richard Verschoor and Ayumu Iwasa completed the podium. Drugovich can now claim the title at Monza this weekend after his main rival

Theo Pourchaire’s weekend was ruined by a qualifying accident.

Marcus Armstrong had dominated the sprint race that kicked off the weekend in the Netherlands.

He started on the front row and overtook Clement Novalak away from the start. A late-race safety car bunched the pack up but Hitech GP driver Armstrong held firm for the win. Behind Novolak, Dennis Hauger took third spot.
