LAWSON AND IWASA CLAIM FINAL F2 WINS
Carlin driver Liam Lawson and Red Bull-backed Ayumu Iwasa shared the spoils in the final rounds of the Formula 2 series in Abu Dhabi last weekend.
Iwasa claimed the feature race victory after fending off multiple attacks from Aston Martin F1 reserve driver Felipe Drugovich, who had claimed the crown before the rounds in the Middle East. The Japanese DAMS racer took the win by just under one second from his MP Motorsport rival, while New Zealander Lawson in third spot. Briton Olli Caldwell was four laps back after a troubled race in his Campos Racing car.
In the sprint race, Lawson overtook early leader Richard Verschoor just before the midpoint of the race and scampered clear. Drugovich rounded out the podium finishers. Caldwell was 16th.
