A scary moment unfolded during the Formula 2 Feature Race in Monaco when Colton Herta passed extremely close to a member of the event personnel near the pit lane entry. The incident occurred on the penultimate lap of the race when the American driver, Varrone and Durksen entered the pit lane, narrowly missing the pedestrian who was crossing the area. Fortunately, the episode had no consequences, with the individual managing to clear the path just in time and avoid what could have been a serious accident.
The trio ultimately finished well outside the points, with Durksen taking the chequered flag in 15th place. Herta and Varrone ended an eventful afternoon further down the order, crossing the line in 19th and 20th respectively.
How did F2 feature race unfold in Monaco?
As for the sporting outcome of the race,
Nikola Tsolov emerged victorious in a dramatic Formula 2 Feature Race in Monaco after a late twist denied Rafael Camara what had appeared to be a likely win. The Brazilian started from pole position and controlled the race for much of the afternoon, leading the field through the opening stages as strategy gradually became the main focus around the narrow streets of Monte Carlo.
With overtaking proving extremely difficult, the race was largely dictated by pit stop timing and tyre management. Several drivers encountered issues throughout the event, including Gabriele Minì, whose race was compromised by a lengthy pit stop, while a handful of incidents and penalties further down the order added intrigue to the contest.
The decisive moment arrived in the closing laps after the leaders completed their mandatory pit stops. Camara initially managed to retain track position, but soon began struggling for grip on his tyres, allowing Tsolov to close in. The pair then became involved in a tense battle, with the Brazilian eventually running into the runoff area and being forced to retire from the race.
Tsolov inherited the lead and comfortably held on to take the chequered flag, securing his third victory of the season. Alex Dunne finished in second place, while Dino Beganovic completed the podium in third. The result also allowed the Bulgarian to significantly reduce the gap to championship leader Minì as the title fight continues to intensify.
