00:02:13in Formula 2

00:02:15it's going to be a great race

00:02:17alongside myself, Chris McCarthy

00:02:20Piers Pryor

00:02:21Piers, the drivers are ready

00:02:23we're ready, it's going to be a great race

00:02:25yesterday's race was amazing

00:02:27we watched it at the highlights

00:02:29we look forward to today's one

00:02:30it's going to be a different picture

00:02:31you mentioned already Chris, feature race

00:02:33one mandatory pit stop required

00:02:36to go from the tyre you start on

00:02:38to the other, so either starting on the option

00:02:40going to the prime, or going from the prime

00:02:41to the option, last year's winner

00:02:44Zane Malone, he started on the softer option

00:02:46red walled Pirelli tyre

00:02:48he then pitted on lap 18, over half way

00:02:50to the hard tyre, but that was actually

00:02:52contrary to what most other drivers

00:02:54did inside the top 10, so

00:02:55definitely split strategies, potentially up and down

00:02:58the field, looks like we actually

00:03:00do have some drivers starting on the hards

00:03:02and some on the softs, inside the

00:03:04top 10. Yes, it looks like Luke

00:03:06Browning has gone for the

00:03:08white wall hard tyre, by Leo

00:03:10Fornaroli on the front row, alongside Victor Martins

00:03:13have gone for the soft

00:03:15so this is going to be

00:03:17an exciting race already

00:03:18let's first tell you how they

00:03:20line up from back to front

00:03:23on the grid, and we will clear up

00:03:25what happened in the sprint race yesterday

00:03:27because the order is not

00:03:29as you saw it finish

00:03:31we did have post

00:03:33race penalties, we had

00:03:35Joshua Dirksen

00:03:36disqualified from the race

00:03:39post race, we had a 5 second

00:03:41penalty, also

00:03:43for Alex Dunn as well

00:03:45Joshua Dirksen, please, disqualified from the race

00:03:47Yes, his rear diffuser

00:03:49strake fell below the accepted

00:03:51ride height by 2mm, so small amount

00:03:53unfortunately, all these

00:03:55F2 cars of course, are identical

00:03:57so they must comply within the regulations

00:03:59and it's, even though it's only 2mm

00:04:01a small amount wouldn't have had a massive

00:04:03measurable advantage on circuit, but

00:04:05of course, it's either a pass or fail

00:04:08scrutineering check, and unfortunately

00:04:10for Dirksen, that meant that he wasn't able

00:04:12to retain his podium that we saw him on

00:04:14yesterday, that promoted Dino

00:04:15Boganovic onto a podium, we didn't see him

00:04:18take that podium, but of course he takes the points

00:04:20and we saw him in FP1 this weekend

00:04:23in a Ferrari, alongside with Luke Browning

00:04:25but as you said, Dino Boganovic onto the podium

00:04:27for the second time in Formula 2

00:04:29it means Richard Vershaw is our championship

00:04:32leader on 13 points

00:04:33the points, well

00:04:35you can, we'll take him at face value

00:04:37we've only done 2 sprint races so far

00:04:39we had a cancelled feature race at Australia

00:04:41due to weather conditions

00:04:43the first time that's happened since 2021 at Sochi

00:04:45that was a very wet race

00:04:47so, Piers, there's some drivers out there

00:04:49rookies, some of them going into

00:04:51their first feature race in Formula 2

00:04:54they have some challenge coming up here

00:04:56of course, tactically they've got a challenge

00:04:58but also physically in terms of just

00:05:00what they've got to execute in this race

00:05:02pit stop is going to be their first pit stop

00:05:05in anger for a lot of these rookies

00:05:07pulling into a grid box and hitting their marks

00:05:10making sure that they get away cleanly

00:05:12get away cleanly as we've seen issues in the past

00:05:14with Formula 2 drivers getting away from the pit boxes

00:05:17there is Arvid Limblads

00:05:19pulling away from his grid box

00:05:23he scored his first points in Formula 2

00:05:27so let's see them pulling away

00:05:30we will bring the grid to you very, very shortly

00:05:33you can see them all pulling away

00:05:35looks like all drivers have got away nice and cleanly

00:05:40and we are on to the formation lap

00:05:43we'll bring you the grid in just a second

00:05:45you can see the top three for Neroli Martins

00:05:47in third place is Luke Browning

00:05:49we caught up with our top three

00:05:50after qualifying on Friday

00:05:51let's start by hearing from third place Luke Browning

00:05:56I think our race pace was good

00:05:58but equally very much the focus on

00:06:00collecting points at the start of the year

00:06:01so, yeah, I think I'll get stronger and stronger

00:06:04considering this is my first full season

00:06:06and my first time arriving at these circuits

00:06:09I just want to collect points early on

00:06:11and then hopefully that puts me in a good place

00:06:13towards the end of the year

00:06:15for sure there will be key moments in the race

00:06:17that I will be using my experience

00:06:19and I think mentally on the emotion side

00:06:23will be important to stay calm

00:06:25because it's going to be a long race

00:06:27also seeing which driver is going with which compound

00:06:31I think there will be a mixed for sure

00:06:33so let's see

00:06:34let's see

00:06:35but it's going to be fun to watch

00:06:36and fun to try

00:06:37I don't have much pressure

00:06:40like I did last year

00:06:42I will just try to do my best

00:06:45we saw that the pace in race simulation was strong in the test

00:06:50so yeah, I will give my best

00:06:53and try to score as many points as possible

00:06:56and I win if it will be possible

00:07:00there we hear from our top three

00:07:03let's give you the grid in full then

00:07:05row one

00:07:06four Neroli on pole position for the first time

00:07:08Victor Martins now are Williams Jr. alongside

00:07:10row two

00:07:11Luke Browning and Alex Dunn

00:07:13Roman Stanek is on row three

00:07:15with Richard Bishaw

00:07:16Sami Megatunif and Rafael Villegomez are on row four

00:07:19then it's Dino Beganovic

00:07:20Joshua Dirksen completing the top ten

00:07:22points go to the top ten

00:07:24Pepe Martin and Gabriele Mini

00:07:25row six

00:07:26John Bennett and Jack Crawford are next

00:07:28then it's Oli Goethe and Arvid Limblad

00:07:31Max Esteson and Sebastian Montoya

00:07:33Rotoma Miata and Kashmine

00:07:35Amarillo Cordil and Kian Shields now on the option tyre

00:07:38the soft tyre are Montoya, Crawford, Marti, Villegomez, Megatunif, Stanek, Dunn, Martins and for Neroli

00:07:46we have the likes of Browning up there going for the hard tyre

00:07:50the pit lane opens at the end of six laps

00:07:54they have to do a compulsory pit stop

00:07:57Dino Beganovic is going for the harder tyre

00:08:00points go to the top ten in Formula 2

00:08:02F1 point style system

00:08:04it's going to be a 32 lap race

00:08:06final thoughts Fierce Pryor before we go racing

00:08:08the hard tyre won't be quite as good off the line

00:08:10and won't be so good in the first few laps

00:08:11but potentially it allows them to go longer into the race

00:08:14so keep an eye out for those drivers on the white walled side

00:08:17the white Pirelli sidewall tyres

00:08:19as they might be coming strong towards the end of the first stint

00:08:22and then also they'll be quicker in the second stint

00:08:25after they're pit stop on the option tyre

00:08:27we've had so much history in Formula 2

00:08:30so many drivers go to F1

00:08:32so many champions

00:08:34who's going to be the next driver to become a winner

00:08:36to the left of screen Victor Martins

00:08:39to the right is Leo Fornaroli

00:08:41for the 200th time we are go

00:08:44in FIA Formula 2

00:08:46and it's a brilliant start for Leo Fornaroli

00:08:49and he will lead us down to the first corner

00:08:52and I think it's going to be his teammate in the other

00:08:54yellow in Victor Roman Stanek

00:08:56who's challenging round the outside

00:08:58Alex Dunn in the papaya goes to second

00:09:01and it is Stanek in third

00:09:03that looks like it might be one of the vanama sports of Villa Gomez

00:09:07up to fourth who's made a brilliant start

00:09:09the likes of Browning and Martins have dropped back

00:09:13that's one of the Red Bull Juniors

00:09:14as we go four wide into turn four

00:09:17surely that'll end in tears

00:09:18looks like they've all just about got through

00:09:20Pepe Marti that is on the attack

00:09:23he was on the top step of the podium yesterday

00:09:25and now he's firing his way up the order into P5

00:09:28brilliant start from Fornaroli at the front of the field

00:09:30taking the lead and we saw Dunn being racy yesterday

00:09:33in that McLaren coloured road in

00:09:35and he's already up to second place as well on that option tyre

00:09:38so two option tyres drivers at the front of the field at the moment

00:09:41we would expect the likes of Luke Browning to drop back

00:09:44and anyone else who's on the harder tyre

00:09:47we will go for six laps before we see that pit lane open

00:09:50and compulsory pit stops being made

00:09:52clean start for Leo Fornaroli out front

00:09:56Alex Dunn a clean start to the race for him

00:09:59and then we've got Villa Gomez and Stanek fighting away

00:10:03they can see some of the white wall hard tyres

00:10:06who will go a bit longer in the race before we see them come in

00:10:09they've gone for an alternative strategy in this race

00:10:13as we head through turn 13

00:10:16and make their way down towards the final two corners

00:10:19and that is one of the Dam's Lucas Oil cars

00:10:21on the attack that is Jack Crawford

00:10:24who hasn't had the start to the season he would have hoped for

00:10:27he goes into the final corner to pass Joshua Dirksen

00:10:31who were looking to be recovered some points

00:10:34after what happened post-race yesterday

00:10:36that is a change for P9

00:10:38lap one complete Fornaroli leads

00:10:40and he's broken DRS as that is now enabled Piz

00:10:44that's an absolutely ideal first lap

00:10:46what Fornaroli would have wanted

00:10:47of course that fighting second, third and fourth

00:10:49allowed Fornaroli that clean run through one and two

00:10:52we still got lots of drivers side by side

00:10:53that's Muganovic going around the outside

00:10:55Gabrieli Mini in the pink Alpine Academy colours

00:11:00trying to get down the inside of John Bennett

00:11:04Gabrieli Mini it's not been a good weekend for him

00:11:07he was fastest here at the in-season test

00:11:10so these drivers have done race runs so to speak

00:11:13and Gabrieli Mini will not be happy with how things are going so far

00:11:16Sebastian Montoya celebrated his birthday on Friday

00:11:19there in the Mumbai Falcons livery

00:11:21they have different liveries those two

00:11:23they are teammates and Montoya wants to get by his teammates

00:11:26he's going to go down the inside at turn eight

00:11:29and they are on different strategies

00:11:31so Montoya will want to get by Mini very quickly

00:11:34yeah advantages and disadvantages of the soft versus the hard option

00:11:38versus the option versus the prime

00:11:40as Mini had a sniff up the inside of turn number ten

00:11:42but that's going to leave him vulnerable on the exit

00:11:44to his teammate of Montoya

00:11:46at this stage in the race soft option red walled side

00:11:49red side walled Pirelli tyre is going to be better

00:11:54ignore the options we are P2 on crime strategy

00:11:58there you go that's the way the teams will be viewing it

00:12:00you want to be as high up the grid in terms of your similarly slick shot tyre cars

00:12:06so those with the hard tyres we're racing those with the hard tyres

00:12:09those with the soft we try to do the best of the drivers on the soft

00:12:12advantage of going hard at this stage is not evident

00:12:15but later in the race they will be able to go longer before their first pit stop

00:12:19and also if there is a late safety car they can pit for soft

00:12:22and then come on strong at the end of the race

00:12:24he's fighting with Dirksen essentially

00:12:27Dirksen for P9 when he says he's second in that strategy race

00:12:31he is fighting for Dirksen in ninth

00:12:33so we will keep an eye on that battle for ninth place as the race progresses

00:12:38it's coming into view now

00:12:39they can see the number seven

00:12:41and they can see the white wall tyres on those cars

00:12:43so this is essentially the other battle we have going on in this race

00:12:47and that is a move trying to be made by Max Esterson

00:12:51who will want to see the flag today

00:12:53it's been something that hasn't happened for him so far in both races we've had

00:12:57he's had luck not on his side going on

00:13:00and there is confirmation of tyres to the left hand side of screen

00:13:03Gabriele Mini stands out for me in that Piers

00:13:06Montoya apologies

00:13:08stands out for me

00:13:09he's on soft tyres

00:13:10he needs to get a move on there in 15th

00:13:12he needs to get past those tyres ahead of him

00:13:15and the hards

00:13:16and he'll have more pace at this stage of the race

00:13:17and if you don't exploit that extra grip from the soft tyre at this stage

00:13:20then you are of course leaving yourself vulnerable

00:13:22let's have a look back at the start

00:13:24it was a great start from pole position from our Invictor of Fornaroli

00:13:29but also a great start from the other Invictors

00:13:31we legitimately go four wide down towards turn number one

00:13:34it was amazing that we came out cleanly at the front of the field

00:13:36everyone having great spatial awareness at this stage

00:13:40done getting into second place

00:13:41the two Lucas or Dam's cars going side by side

00:13:45and further back in the field

00:13:48also three wide going down to turn number four

00:13:50this is Richard Bishaw

00:13:51let's have a watch of what happened to him

00:13:53poor getaway for him

00:13:54and that lost him a lot of places

00:13:55yeah he just didn't get away from the line

00:13:57a little bit of wheel spin in the second phase of the start

00:13:59dropped behind

00:14:00he's then in the middle of the road

00:14:01he's got a bit of a gap in front of him

00:14:03which he's driven into at this stage

00:14:04and look at the cars fanning out left right and centre in front of him

00:14:08gets a good exit through turn two

00:14:10behind Beganovic at this stage

00:14:12getting in the slipstream again

00:14:13he's on the hard tyres

00:14:14so that will potentially be a contributing factor to that four start

00:14:17has a look up the inside of Beganovic

00:14:19as Beganovic goes around the outside

00:14:20I think that's Dirksen right in front of us at this stage

00:14:22that was the four wide we saw from the TV angle earlier on

00:14:25oh sandwiched through there is second

00:14:28is that Sir?

00:14:29that's Beganovic and one of the dams

00:14:31because I think that was Crawford

00:14:33that's the wheel spin from the front row for Victor Martins

00:14:36yeah Victor Martins

00:14:37you saw the black marks on the road

00:14:39as he got way too much wheel spin and spin

00:14:41and the car squirmed away from the line

00:14:44and this is how Dunn got through

00:14:45actually quite an easy overtake up into second place for Dunn

00:14:48yesterday he was fighting hard feisty up and down the field

00:14:52today things are looking a little bit easier at this stage

00:14:55but can't quite match the pace of Fornaroli in these first couple of laps

00:15:00Cup 8 is all soft tyres

00:15:02they have a big advantage for the moment

00:15:04you will have it later in the race

00:15:06we saw a poor start for Richard Vachior

00:15:09Gabriele Mini you would have seen on those star replays

00:15:12as we are focusing on the front in the middle

00:15:14the pink Alpine he just

00:15:16really struggled to get off the line

00:15:18very similar to what Richard Vachior did

00:15:19and he tumbled down the order

00:15:21he's lost quite a few positions

00:15:23he's on a recovery charge

00:15:25Gabriele Mini but Victor Martins

00:15:27now has to try and get back through the order here

00:15:29Piers doesn't he?

00:15:30big wheelspin he nearly went into the barriers almost off the line

00:15:34sixth place

00:15:35it just has to try and settle down now mentally and recover in this race

00:15:39there's two things that can make your race weekend much easier and much harder than it needs to be

00:15:44and that is qualifying and race starts

00:15:47he got one done qualifying very quickly of course front row second place

00:15:50the start not so much and that's why he's having to fight the way through the field at this stage

00:15:55just got too much wheelspin and that gives him a lot of work to do now

00:15:58Fornaroli and Dunn will be pretty happy at the moment

00:16:01Dunn having made places

00:16:02Fornaroli held the lead off the start

00:16:05they can just start to look after their tyres

00:16:07of course both running the option Redwold tyre

00:16:10the softer of the two compounds

00:16:12let's have a look at a replay down to Turn 13

00:16:14that's a great move from Sebastian Montoya

00:16:15brilliant move up into the inside of Turn 13

00:16:18running wide is John Bennett on the exit

00:16:20so that won't help his grip in the next couple of corners

00:16:22as he picks up dust and marbles on his tyres

00:16:25Montoya using the soft tyres to his advantage there

00:16:28to secure the move on John Bennett

00:16:31Gabriele Mini has gone with him by the way

00:16:33so both of those drivers past even I'm a sport driver

00:16:36they are up into 14th and 15th respectively

00:16:40okay Luke Browning is now the lead hard tyre runner

00:16:45he's just gone by Dirksen

00:16:46in fact they've swapped round again

00:16:47so those two are fighting away with each other

00:16:50they've got to make that Browning ahead

00:16:51so those two have been side by side

00:16:53whoa there we go what we said

00:16:55the Victor Martins needs to get on with it

00:16:57and that's exactly what he's done

00:16:58he needs to recover in this race

00:17:00down the inside at Turn 8

00:17:02and through he goes on Roman Stanek

00:17:03that was harsh but in my opinion fair move

00:17:06Victor Martins rolled off the brakes

00:17:09in that Williams liveried car

00:17:11just rolled to the apex

00:17:12got alongside before the apex

00:17:13and ran Stanek out of road

00:17:14Stanek managed to just stay on the road

00:17:16and now he's going to be under pressure

00:17:17from the 22 of Megatunov

00:17:19Great driving this from Sami Megatunov

00:17:22so far this weekend in that Trident

00:17:24and I've got to say Rafael Villegomez

00:17:27third for Van Amma Sport Racing

00:17:29fastest lap

00:17:30he seems to have a boost of confidence

00:17:33this weekend and he is doing very well

00:17:35got a season, a career best Formula 2 results

00:17:39yesterday of P6

00:17:41let's see what he can do today

00:17:43Roman Stanek in the yellow in Victor

00:17:46could be under pressure

00:17:47we just saw him lose the position there

00:17:49to Victor Martins

00:17:50next queuing up his Megatunov

00:17:52then it's Crawford as well

00:17:54and Piers as you're pointing out

00:17:55Alex Dunn who once did not have DRS

00:17:58now has it on our race leader

00:18:00yeah closed in by a three or four tenths

00:18:02on that last lap

00:18:03just puts himself within DRS

00:18:05and now he's going to be hounding the back

00:18:07of Fornaroli's yellow in Victor

00:18:09we've got close nose tail action down the field

00:18:11but no attempted moves into turn one

00:18:13everyone still just looking to protect

00:18:15those soft Pirelli tyres

00:18:17with the red sidewalls in the top ten

00:18:19again DRS for Dunn down towards turn four

00:18:22not pressuring for a move now

00:18:24as we see a chink out from Pepe

00:18:26yeah great move up the inside bar

00:18:28unfortunately too much speed in the apex

00:18:31and cut back on the exit

00:18:33Pepe Marti going for a move there

00:18:35well he's made his intentions known

00:18:37he wants that third place

00:18:39I think he can see the leaders getting away here

00:18:41Pepe Marti this is a great view

00:18:43aerial shots into turn eight

00:18:45can't quite get the move done

00:18:47and speaking of that Alex Dunn

00:18:49is closing in on Leo Fornaroli

00:18:51and this is where we're starting to just see

00:18:55who is managing the soft tyres better

00:18:59end of six laps we can see

00:19:01drivers take advantage of compulsory pit stops

00:19:05and just as we say that

00:19:07Leo Fornaroli tells his Invicta Racing team

00:19:09that his front tyres are going

00:19:11and this gives us a great onboard view of Alex Dunn

00:19:13let's ride on board with Alex Dunn

00:19:15let's ride on board with Alex Dunn

00:19:16he's in the dirty air now

00:19:17so he's having to lift through the long right-hander

00:19:19of turn number 12

00:19:21just going to try and get a good exit

00:19:23this stage of the race you know we're less

00:19:25about a quarter of the way through at this stage

00:19:27it's all about preserving these tyres

00:19:29because even though we do have a pit stop coming out

00:19:31these soft tyres will struggle to do over half distance

00:19:34although saying that of course last year the winning strategy from Zayn Maloney

00:19:37was 18 laps on these option tyres

00:19:39and then a 12 or 14 lap final stint

00:19:43but that was as I mentioned ahead of the show

00:19:45a bit unusual

00:19:47most teams deciding that the hard tyre was the one to go for at the start of the race this year

00:19:51we could see a move down into turn number one here from Dunn

00:19:53looks to the inside, uses the DRS

00:19:55gets alongside in the braking zone

00:19:57can he get it stopped?

00:19:58gives a squeeze to Fornaroli on the outside

00:20:00brilliantly executed move there from Dunn up to the lead

00:20:03and in the background Pepe Marti has gone by Rafael Villegomez

00:20:06as well

00:20:08so two changes for podium places

00:20:10in the space of one corner

00:20:12and Villegomez is under pressure in the background now for P4

00:20:15so Villegomez is going to lose fourth place into turn four

00:20:18there goes Victor Martins

00:20:20well he's recovering well

00:20:21it was not the best launch of the line

00:20:23for the Williams Academy driver

00:20:24did not have a good sprint race at all

00:20:26disaster at turn one

00:20:27but he is recovering now in this race

00:20:30and he has his sights set on those two leaders out front

00:20:34and it's now Alex Dunn for Road in Motorsport who leads

00:20:38Sami Megatuniv

00:20:39are we going to see him make his first impact on this battle?

00:20:42pit lane is now open

00:20:44we will see drivers beginning to come in

00:20:46let's watch this move back

00:20:47fairly regulation move up the inside of turn one

00:20:49got alongside in the braking zone

00:20:50braked late

00:20:51he just held Fornaroli off a little bit

00:20:53choosing to turn in slightly later than he otherwise

00:20:56normally would have done

00:20:57this is the move looking back from Villegomez up to Marty

00:21:01Marty had to work harder for that one than Dunn did

00:21:04unfortunately Villegomez because he got ran wide at the apex

00:21:07then was vulnerable going down towards turn number four

00:21:10and then this is where we saw Martins get a good run

00:21:12using that DRS

00:21:13we're on board now with Lindblad further down the field

00:21:15as Montoya getting involved once again

00:21:17tries to go around the outside

00:21:18are they going to go side by side through two?

00:21:20yes they are

00:21:21Lindblad tries to get the cutback unfortunately

00:21:23gets blocked at the apex of turn number two

00:21:26and couldn't get that move back through

00:21:28Victor Martins

00:21:30now

00:21:31with a chance to get

00:21:33third place

00:21:34on Pepe Marti

00:21:35there's Jack Crawford

00:21:36in eighth place as well

00:21:37we'll keep an eye on him

00:21:38Leo Fornaroli has kept within DRS

00:21:41of Alex Dunn

00:21:42but only just

00:21:43he was just within nine tenths of a second

00:21:45down the start finish straight we go

00:21:47let's hear from our race leader

00:21:48we need another

00:21:5010 laps or so

00:21:51so

00:21:52copy

00:21:53feeling good

00:21:54looks like they're

00:21:55going to be copying the winning strategy

00:21:57from last year of Maloney then

00:21:58if they do pit in another 10 laps

00:22:00that will be lap 18

00:22:01exactly the same as Maloney

00:22:0218 laps in the soft

00:22:03followed by

00:22:0414 laps on the hard last year

00:22:06interesting that they've decided

00:22:08all the teams have clearly looked at what happened last year

00:22:10and how dominant Maloney was

00:22:12and he was dominant in that race

00:22:13starting P3 actually

00:22:14so Dunn could emulate that

00:22:16from winning from the front

00:22:18not from the front row

00:22:20if he does so

00:22:21but it's a long way to go

00:22:22in this one

00:22:2314

00:22:2424 laps remain

00:22:26yeah they've done

00:22:27in season testing here

00:22:28haven't they Piers

00:22:29and I guess in that

00:22:30they would have just

00:22:31they would have had the privilege

00:22:33to do a strategy

00:22:34we had a safety car at the start

00:22:36last year for a first corner incident

00:22:38but nevertheless

00:22:39we went 18 laps last year

00:22:40and in that three day in season test

00:22:42they would have been practicing the exact strategy

00:22:45they were going to do in this race

00:22:46they would have had opportunities to do race long runs

00:22:48you know

00:22:4912, 14, 16, 18 laps on

00:22:51both the soft and the hard tyres

00:22:52I imagine most of the teams would look at it

00:22:54had a go at that

00:22:56however

00:22:57it's never quite the same

00:22:58doing it in testing as it is in the race

00:23:00the conditions

00:23:01I mean you can see the number

00:23:02of marbles off of the racing line

00:23:05you know

00:23:06you run off the racing line a couple of times

00:23:07in a battle

00:23:08as we're seeing

00:23:09from the likes of Beganovic

00:23:10here with the

00:23:11ex-car of Dirksen ahead of him

00:23:13and the dirty air as well

00:23:15often in testing

00:23:16you're

00:23:17running on your own

00:23:18clean air

00:23:19and the track may be

00:23:20either hotter or colder

00:23:21and

00:23:22not so much rubber down

00:23:23all these variables

00:23:24mean that when you come to the race

00:23:25slightly different conditions

00:23:27and you have to

00:23:28adjust your

00:23:29ideal strategy

00:23:30ever so slightly

00:23:31based on the drivers feedback

00:23:32which is why we heard

00:23:33Fornaroli

00:23:34feeding back to the Invicta team

00:23:36earlier on saying

00:23:37front tyres are just falling away

00:23:38because then the team

00:23:39will be looking back

00:23:40at their previous

00:23:41planned strategy

00:23:42to then potentially amend it

00:23:43based on their expectations

00:23:45Jack Crawford

00:23:46move down the inside

00:23:47of Sammy Megatune

00:23:48if that's P7

00:23:49for Dam's Lucas Oil

00:23:50this is a fascinating race

00:23:52playing out here Piers

00:23:53we never usually have

00:23:55this much of a split

00:23:57in tyre strategy

00:23:58an alternative strategy

00:24:00for those of you

00:24:01new to Formula 2

00:24:02would be something

00:24:03that drivers may

00:24:04at the back of the field

00:24:05if you've had a bad qualifying

00:24:06would usually go for

00:24:07to give you a chance

00:24:08at the end of the race

00:24:09if there is say

00:24:10a late safety car

00:24:11but usually

00:24:12it's never much

00:24:14never this much

00:24:15of a split

00:24:16in the field

00:24:17this is going to be

00:24:18really fascinating

00:24:19to see

00:24:20how this plays out

00:24:21over the next

00:24:22twenty or so laps

00:24:23yeah we're setting

00:24:24into a bit of a lull

00:24:25in terms of racing action

00:24:26at the moment

00:24:27but I'm expecting it

00:24:28to heat up

00:24:29especially towards the end

00:24:30and you see it

00:24:31from that tyre strategy

00:24:32splits on the left hand

00:24:33side of your screen

00:24:34there the soft S red

00:24:36on the left hand side

00:24:37mostly taken by the top

00:24:38eight other than Montoya

00:24:39and then everyone

00:24:40ninth downwards on the hard

00:24:41and I think the reason

00:24:42that the drivers

00:24:43that qualified

00:24:44further down the grid

00:24:45have gone for that

00:24:46hard tyre more

00:24:47than the drivers

00:24:48at the front

00:24:49is because

00:24:50they're not going to be

00:24:51able to find their way

00:24:52through

00:24:53or not as easily

00:24:54on the hard tyre

00:24:55but they're banking

00:24:56on potentially

00:24:57there being a safety car

00:24:58at some point

00:24:59they can pick

00:25:00effectively a

00:25:01much reduced

00:25:02pit stop loss

00:25:03and then have

00:25:04that second half

00:25:05of the race

00:25:06with the fastest

00:25:07soft tyres

00:25:08so we'll see how

00:25:09that plays out

00:25:10of course we had

00:25:11a safety car yesterday

00:25:12but there's no guarantee

00:25:13of a safety car

00:25:14in this one

00:25:15it has to almost work out

00:25:16for Luke Browning

00:25:17doesn't it?

00:25:18he qualified on the

00:25:19second row

00:25:20with what happened

00:25:21to Victor Martins

00:25:22he could have easily

00:25:23been leading this race

00:25:24or

00:25:25he could have very much

00:25:26been easily leading

00:25:27or challenging

00:25:28Leo Fornaroli

00:25:29in the early stages

00:25:30let's see what happens

00:25:31though

00:25:32he's currently the lead runner

00:25:33of those drivers

00:25:34Joshua Dirksen

00:25:35there is Dirksen

00:25:36speaking of

00:25:37now coming under pressure

00:25:38from the other high-tech

00:25:39which is Dino Beganovic

00:25:40I don't think Browning

00:25:41will be too disappointed

00:25:42with where he is

00:25:43in this stage of the race

00:25:44we see Dirksen go defensive

00:25:45to try and cover off

00:25:46from Beganovic

00:25:47Beganovic going to the outside

00:25:48in the grey car

00:25:49the number eight

00:25:50for high-tech TGR

00:25:51they both get a good exit

00:25:52actually we've got a move

00:25:53that is Stanex

00:25:54is he overtaking

00:25:55or defending?

00:25:56that's overtaking Villagones

00:25:57yes there we go

00:25:58move through

00:25:59up into fifth place

00:26:00for the second of the Invictors

00:26:01at this stage of the race

00:26:02are the Invictors

00:26:03Porter early in second

00:26:04Stanek in fifth

00:26:05pretty good at this early stage

00:26:07but we saw the likes of Browning

00:26:08come on strong

00:26:09at the end of the race

00:26:10as Beganovic

00:26:11manages to get underneath

00:26:12Dirksen on the exit

00:26:13at turn four

00:26:14they're going to go side by side

00:26:15through six and seven

00:26:16Beganovic can't get that one done

00:26:18he's going to look up the inside of eight

00:26:19Dirksen at half covers

00:26:21and Beganovic decides not to go for it

00:26:23which is allowing

00:26:24Richard Vashur

00:26:25Richard Vashur up the inside

00:26:26and we're going to go side by side

00:26:27once again

00:26:28Vashur now on the inside

00:26:29and Vashur will now be under pressure

00:26:31from Montoya on the softer

00:26:32of the two tyres

00:26:33in the Mumbai Falcons livery

00:26:34just behind

00:26:35in towards turns ten we go

00:26:38and Richard Vashur

00:26:40now wanting to get a move on

00:26:42here

00:26:43will he go past Dino

00:26:44they're all

00:26:45they're all queuing up here

00:26:46similar to what we see

00:26:47towards the front

00:26:48we have

00:26:49two

00:26:50big battles going on

00:26:51there's Montoya

00:26:52stands out with those tyres

00:26:54slightly in this battle

00:26:55but

00:26:56but

00:26:57let's see if it

00:26:58swings for him

00:26:59towards the end of the race

00:27:00then we have

00:27:01Arvid Lindblad

00:27:02in the points

00:27:03youngest points scorer

00:27:04in Formula 2

00:27:05yesterday

00:27:06at just 17

00:27:07and

00:27:08Gabriele Mini

00:27:09next behind

00:27:10Oli Gertha

00:27:11John Bennett

00:27:12Rotoma Miata

00:27:13Kushmany

00:27:14Amarim Coutil

00:27:15Max Esteson

00:27:16Kian Childs round out the field

00:27:17but in this battle specifically

00:27:19Montoya's third in train

00:27:21then it is

00:27:22next along

00:27:23Arvid Lindblad

00:27:25and then behind that

00:27:26we have

00:27:27Gabriele Mini

00:27:29as they head down

00:27:30the start finish straight

00:27:31and in the background

00:27:32pit stops

00:27:33are underway

00:27:34and

00:27:35John Bennett

00:27:36is coming into

00:27:37pit lane first

00:27:38so our first pit stop

00:27:39is about to happen

00:27:40and it's going to be

00:27:41John Bennett

00:27:42for Van Amersfoel Racing

00:27:43in first

00:27:44he's coming in on the hard tyres

00:27:45looking to pit and change

00:27:46to the option soft

00:27:47red wall tyres

00:27:48so he's hoping he can get some

00:27:49clear air

00:27:50and unleash some of that pace

00:27:51so that then he can effectively

00:27:53undercut the drivers

00:27:54that he was around

00:27:56let's have a look back

00:27:57at a replay

00:27:58this was Stanek

00:27:59on

00:28:00Villa Gomez

00:28:01managed to get the good exit

00:28:02out of turn 1 and 2

00:28:03used the DRS

00:28:04to drive quite easily

00:28:05past around the outside

00:28:06regulation

00:28:08and this was for sure

00:28:09an attempted move

00:28:10at turn 8 on Dino

00:28:11didn't get it done

00:28:12got alongside

00:28:13but then

00:28:14couldn't get the exit

00:28:15and then Dino of course

00:28:16going down towards

00:28:179 and 10

00:28:18had the inside line

00:28:19and actually did well for sure

00:28:21to cover off

00:28:22from Montoya

00:28:24behind

00:28:25in that

00:28:26Mumbai Falcons livery

00:28:27Montoya

00:28:28actually had a bit of

00:28:29wheelspin on the exit

00:28:30that won't be helping

00:28:31his rear tyre life

00:28:34Crawford

00:28:357th place

00:28:36now

00:28:37trying to line up

00:28:38a move on Villa Gomez

00:28:39then it is Stanek

00:28:40who we just

00:28:41saw

00:28:42go past

00:28:435th

00:28:44Martin

00:28:45has not been able

00:28:46to quite break down

00:28:47play Marty up the road

00:28:48and

00:28:49we have a

00:28:50group that

00:28:51all has lost

00:28:52DRS

00:28:53to each other

00:28:54Dunn

00:28:55is doing a great job

00:28:56out front

00:28:57he is 2.5 seconds

00:28:58clear from the field

00:28:59in towards the final

00:29:00two corners

00:29:01are we going to see

00:29:02some moves this time

00:29:03Villa Gomez

00:29:04may have to

00:29:05attack to stay ahead

00:29:06of Crawford here

00:29:07let's watch this one

00:29:08play out

00:29:09down to the first corner

00:29:10and Megatunif

00:29:11just

00:29:12was holding on

00:29:13it looks like

00:29:14he's lost DRS

00:29:15this time

00:29:16there is Crawford

00:29:18trying to make position

00:29:19John Bennett

00:29:20has come in

00:29:21for soft tyres

00:29:22and now

00:29:23we have the next driver

00:29:24coming in

00:29:25and that

00:29:26looks like

00:29:27Gabriele Mini

00:29:28in the Alpine Academy

00:29:29car

00:29:30and that is confirmed

00:29:31to the left hand side

00:29:32of screen

00:29:33as Richard Vashor

00:29:34well he tried once

00:29:35at turn 8

00:29:36wasn't successful

00:29:37and now he's through

00:29:38at turn 1

00:29:39this time

00:29:40position change

00:29:41for P11 Piss

00:29:42Ganovich didn't fight that one

00:29:43particularly hard

00:29:44he designed himself to the fact

00:29:45that Vashor has more pace

00:29:46at this stage

00:29:47of the race

00:29:48and is quite happy to go

00:29:49with Vashor

00:29:50clearly

00:29:51Boganovich not feeling

00:29:52great on his tyres

00:29:53if his tyres are feeling

00:29:54really good at this stage

00:29:55he'd be pushing on

00:29:56and trying to hold that position

00:29:57they're starting to go away

00:29:58then he might

00:29:59have defended it more

00:30:00here we go

00:30:01Vashor

00:30:02using the RS

00:30:03not even a hint of defence

00:30:04from Boganovich there

00:30:05Vashor will say

00:30:06thank you very much

00:30:07I'll take that position

00:30:08gets it stopped

00:30:09and away he goes

00:30:10in pursuit of Dirksen

00:30:11so we're having the opposite

00:30:13play out here

00:30:14aren't we

00:30:15we're having the drivers

00:30:16on the hard tyre

00:30:17coming in first

00:30:18which is not usually the case

00:30:20and the message to

00:30:24from Rodin Motorsports

00:30:25Alex Dunn

00:30:26was he needed around

00:30:27another ten laps

00:30:28that came in about

00:30:29four laps ago

00:30:30and so we would

00:30:32he would expect him

00:30:34to go maybe another

00:30:35six laps

00:30:36that is how many laps

00:30:37Zane Maloney went

00:30:38last year

00:30:39but this is

00:30:40not the norm

00:30:41and that means

00:30:42Gabriele Mini

00:30:43is going to have to take

00:30:44these tyres

00:30:4520 laps

00:30:46in this race

00:30:47which is quite some distance

00:30:48and we're expecting

00:30:49more drivers in

00:30:51this lap

00:30:52including the likes of

00:30:53Richard Vashor

00:30:54it's slightly counterintuitive

00:30:55that these drivers

00:30:56are choosing to pit

00:30:57early from the hard tyre

00:30:58because you'd think

00:30:59that you know

00:31:00logically the hard tyre

00:31:01lasts a little longer

00:31:02if you see a couple of

00:31:03drivers peel into pit lane

00:31:04erm

00:31:05well that's Villo

00:31:06the victim Pepe Marti

00:31:07actually from Stern

00:31:08third

00:31:09Victor Martins is in

00:31:10so the first of the soft tyre

00:31:11runners is in

00:31:12yeah my mistake

00:31:13it is Victor Martin

00:31:14not Pepe Marti

00:31:15is up the inside

00:31:16that's Villo Gomez

00:31:17trying to get down the inside

00:31:18of Stanek

00:31:19Stanek holds around the outside

00:31:21sees him coming

00:31:22gives him space

00:31:23but then of course Villo Gomez

00:31:24now is going to have DRS

00:31:25down towards turn four

00:31:26and if he's got a good exit

00:31:27then Stanek will be under pressure

00:31:28once again

00:31:29also getting DRS there

00:31:31is the third of these cars

00:31:33trying to go around the outside

00:31:34of two

00:31:35that would be an outstanding move

00:31:36that one done

00:31:37well it's worked on one

00:31:38that's a brilliant move

00:31:40that's Crawford

00:31:41up on Villo Gomez

00:31:43all the time Villo Gomez

00:31:44is looking ahead to try

00:31:45and make a move

00:31:46forgot about Crawford

00:31:47Crawford went around the outside

00:31:48as we see pit stops

00:31:49pit stops being made

00:31:50just one person to each tyre

00:31:53in Formula 2

00:31:55not like what you see

00:31:56in Formula 1

00:31:57the teams work incredibly hard

00:31:59practicing throughout the weekend

00:32:01and on build ups to race weekends

00:32:04as Gabriele Mini

00:32:05goes round his team mate

00:32:07Sebastian Montoya

00:32:08and look he should get the run here on Dino

00:32:10yeah Mini getting a good exit

00:32:12no tyre warmers here in Formula 2

00:32:14so coming out the pits

00:32:15you have to take a lap or so

00:32:16to get your tyres up to full operating temperature

00:32:18which Mini has the advantage of

00:32:19and it's why he's so easily able to swoop

00:32:22around the outside of Beganovic

00:32:24Mini in that bright pink car for Framer Racing

00:32:26he's that undercut for Mini

00:32:29at this stage has certainly worked

00:32:31and from your

00:32:32going back to your racing experience

00:32:33please

00:32:34how hard is it

00:32:35when you're coming out

00:32:36on cold tyres

00:32:37like that fresh outfit lane

00:32:38to get them up to temperature

00:32:39yes

00:32:40hard twofold

00:32:41one because you have physically less grip

00:32:43these Pirelli tyres work best

00:32:44when they've had a few corners

00:32:45to get some temperature into the rubber

00:32:47and it softens up

00:32:48but secondly

00:32:49also judging how hard you can break

00:32:51where you can break

00:32:52having just come

00:32:53from a different compound

00:32:54that's at full temperature

00:32:55all the way to a new compound

00:32:57that's below the optimal temperature

00:32:59yet tricky

00:33:00which is why you see drivers lose time

00:33:01on that out lap

00:33:04well Alex Dunn

00:33:05our race leader

00:33:06has been told to box

00:33:08so just slightly earlier

00:33:10than we might have expected

00:33:11but

00:33:12we saw Zay Maloney go 18 laps last year

00:33:14but that was with a safety car

00:33:15ok

00:33:16in we go then

00:33:17now we start to see drivers

00:33:18really coming in

00:33:19and it's Roman Stanek

00:33:20in there

00:33:21a little bit slow at the rear end

00:33:23for Roman Stanek

00:33:24to a fairly regulation stop

00:33:26another little

00:33:27slightly slow stop

00:33:28for Jock Sturksen

00:33:29but it's amazing that these

00:33:30these teams

00:33:31they work so well

00:33:32they do a lot of practice

00:33:33behind the scenes

00:33:34to get their pit stops absolutely nailed

00:33:35of course only six mechanics allowed on the car

00:33:37one Jack Man at the front and the rear each

00:33:40and then one person per tyre

00:33:41so that person on each wheel

00:33:43has to take the nut off

00:33:45take the wheel off

00:33:46grab the new tyre

00:33:47put it on perfectly

00:33:48and then tighten it up

00:33:49and make sure it's tight enough to go

00:33:50before they release onto the circuit

00:33:52looking at sort of like a

00:33:53six seven eight second pit stop

00:33:55as opposed to Formula One's two or three

00:33:57so there comes Dirksen

00:33:58back out onto the track

00:33:59we've seen him now

00:34:00the likes of Browning

00:34:01Gertha

00:34:02and Miney

00:34:03there are your pit stops

00:34:04so Victor Martins

00:34:05has come through pit lane

00:34:07ahead of Stanek

00:34:08and Browning

00:34:09so Stanek

00:34:10ahead of Browning

00:34:11for sure

00:34:12Mini

00:34:13and then we've got

00:34:14Beganovic

00:34:15Bennett

00:34:16Montoya

00:34:17Dirksen

00:34:18and Miney

00:34:19I think the reason we're seeing

00:34:20a lot of early stops

00:34:21for these hard tyres

00:34:22is that the soft tyre just looks

00:34:23like the faster tyre

00:34:24and if they can keep it alive

00:34:26for the race

00:34:27which looks like they are

00:34:28because we're you know

00:34:29approaching or just over half

00:34:30distance now

00:34:31or approaching half distance

00:34:32should I say

00:34:33oh yeah

00:34:34it's done

00:34:35looks like he's staying out

00:34:36actually

00:34:37so another lap

00:34:38he's being told now to stay out

00:34:39will Leo Fornaroli

00:34:41and Pepe Marti

00:34:42follow suit

00:34:43that is the question

00:34:45in terms of Victor Martins

00:34:47they're around 38 seconds

00:34:49ahead

00:34:50in terms of Victor Martins

00:34:52as we see them

00:34:53head through

00:34:54Alex Dunn

00:34:55on soft tyres

00:34:56and then we have

00:34:57Fornaroli

00:34:58Pepe Marti

00:34:59Crawford

00:35:00let's have a look

00:35:01at what happens

00:35:02in the pits

00:35:03I think this is going to be

00:35:04Dirksen coming in

00:35:05Dirksen in

00:35:06I think keep an eye on

00:35:07the leftist shot

00:35:08that right rear tyre

00:35:09I think was the one

00:35:10that was sticky

00:35:11yeah it was

00:35:12that right rear

00:35:13looks like the

00:35:14mechanic either dropped the wheel

00:35:15still not dropped the gun

00:35:16and cost him a couple of seconds

00:35:18and a bit of track position

00:35:19but nothing too horrendous

00:35:22out of pit lane

00:35:23they come there

00:35:24you can see for sure

00:35:25in the orange MP

00:35:26ahead of Mini

00:35:27ahead of Beganovic

00:35:28ahead of Villa Gomez

00:35:29and ahead

00:35:30well ahead of the

00:35:31ahead of John Bennett

00:35:32and then ahead of Montoya

00:35:34this

00:35:35a little bit further up the road

00:35:37is Villa Gomez

00:35:38and this is Sammy Megatun

00:35:40if these are drivers

00:35:41have not stopped yet

00:35:42so

00:35:43we have not seen

00:35:44any of the top

00:35:459 drivers on circuit

00:35:46come through

00:35:47pit lane

00:35:48just yet

00:35:49Max Esteson

00:35:50nor

00:35:51has come through

00:35:52pit lane yet

00:35:53and Alex Dunn

00:35:54they have seen

00:35:55what's going on

00:35:56with pit stops

00:35:57and they're deciding

00:35:58so far

00:35:59that they want to stay out

00:36:00clearly Dunn's tyres

00:36:01still looking ok

00:36:02as Pepe Marti

00:36:03looks to be boxing

00:36:04this lap

00:36:05when the teams

00:36:06make their strategies

00:36:07they're weighing up

00:36:08two options

00:36:09and then they do the theoretical

00:36:10fastest way of doing the race

00:36:11where they

00:36:12have looked at the

00:36:13the times

00:36:14the overall lap time

00:36:16you know

00:36:17options

00:36:18for each of the tyres

00:36:19generally the softer tyre will be faster

00:36:20but will fall away more

00:36:21and they use a bit of calculation

00:36:22to find the

00:36:23overall fastest race time

00:36:24and then they weigh that up

00:36:25with their position

00:36:26on the grid

00:36:27because also

00:36:28your race time is affected

00:36:29when you're in traffic

00:36:31Fornaroli

00:36:32being told to come

00:36:33into pit lane

00:36:34Pepe Marti likewise

00:36:35so

00:36:36we will see

00:36:37those drivers coming in

00:36:38and there we go

00:36:39Leo Fornaroli

00:36:40and Pepe Marti

00:36:41are in

00:36:42and this is where

00:36:43the two teams

00:36:44have to get pit stops

00:36:45bang on

00:36:46they're not far away

00:36:47from each other

00:36:48as they both crawl in

00:36:49pressure is on

00:36:50Invicta Racing

00:36:51here we go

00:36:52to deliver Fornaroli

00:36:53a good pit stop

00:36:54as the team get to work

00:36:55looks like a good stop

00:36:56so far

00:36:57a little slow at the rear

00:36:58but a good get away

00:36:59from the pits

00:37:00let's have a look

00:37:01on the pit exit

00:37:02it is Fornaroli

00:37:03that maintains his track position

00:37:04ahead of Pepe Marti

00:37:06looks like Pepe Marti

00:37:07has made up some time though

00:37:08and now it will be crucial

00:37:09to see where they come out

00:37:11in reference to Alex Dunn

00:37:13Alex Dunn

00:37:14is still out there

00:37:15for the time being

00:37:16so we keep an eye on that

00:37:17and where do they filter in

00:37:19there goes Victor Martins

00:37:20so he has gone ahead

00:37:22of Leo Fornaroli

00:37:23and Pepe Marti

00:37:24and there is Luke Browning

00:37:26meanwhile this is

00:37:27Roman Stanek

00:37:28defending from Richard Vashore

00:37:30so Leo Fornaroli

00:37:32three seconds behind Victor Martins

00:37:35as they head through

00:37:36and Alex Dunn

00:37:37is now being told

00:37:38to come into pit lane

00:37:40let's see where

00:37:41those two filter out

00:37:42in reference to each other

00:37:43and where he comes out

00:37:45in terms of Victor Martins

00:37:47Stanek and Vashore

00:37:48fighting there

00:37:49Vashore

00:37:50with the softer tyres

00:37:51Stanek with the harder tyres

00:37:52and therefore Stanek

00:37:53couldn't hold on

00:37:54and fight

00:37:55Fastest lap for Luke Browning

00:37:56he's been in the pits

00:37:57he's now gone

00:37:58from the hard to the soft tyre

00:37:59making use of that pace advantage

00:38:01I think he's about equidistant

00:38:02compared to Fornaroli

00:38:04and Pepe Marti

00:38:06however he now has a soft tyre

00:38:08which is quicker

00:38:09than those ahead

00:38:10Victor Martins is doing

00:38:12a great job here

00:38:13climbing himself up the order

00:38:15he has gone by Fornaroli

00:38:17and Pepe Marti

00:38:18with that pit stop

00:38:19he did come in earlier though

00:38:20here comes Alex Dunn now

00:38:22right this is important

00:38:24for road in motorsport

00:38:25they need to deliver

00:38:26a good stop here

00:38:27Fornaroli and Martin

00:38:28Marti were in last time

00:38:30as road in motorsport

00:38:31get to work on their stop

00:38:32they need a good stop here

00:38:33he did have a bit of a buffer

00:38:34but can easily be a road

00:38:36a bit of a slow stop

00:38:37looked pretty solid

00:38:38from the road in team

00:38:39Dunn should come out still

00:38:41at the front of the field

00:38:42fresh hard tyres on

00:38:43so they are using

00:38:44two tyres in this race

00:38:47we have the soft

00:38:48and the hard

00:38:49where will he come out

00:38:50in terms of Victor Martins

00:38:52who's at the top of screen

00:38:53he's exited the final corner

00:38:55he's making his way

00:38:56he's making his way

00:38:57down the start finish

00:38:58straight

00:38:59remember he will not have

00:39:00as much grip as Victor

00:39:01Martins

00:39:02Victor Martins is making

00:39:03his way down to the first

00:39:05corner

00:39:06hits the brakes

00:39:07and now Alex Dunn it will be

00:39:08all about getting those tyres

00:39:09up to temperature

00:39:10dunn is ahead

00:39:11but of course you mentioned

00:39:12Chris don't forget

00:39:13that Dunn's tyres

00:39:14will be much cooler

00:39:15than Victor Martins

00:39:16also Victor Martins

00:39:17will know how much grip

00:39:18he's got

00:39:19Dunn it's a voyage

00:39:20into the unknown

00:39:21driven those hard tyres

00:39:23on this track condition

00:39:24at this temperature

00:39:25at all yet

00:39:26we've got further fighting

00:39:27as drivers come out

00:39:28the pits

00:39:29the Trident

00:39:30Legatunif

00:39:31side by side

00:39:32as Montoya makes his way

00:39:33through

00:39:34does he exit turn 2

00:39:35that's so close through there

00:39:36almost contact there

00:39:38as Victor Martins

00:39:39is half a second

00:39:40behind Alex Dunn

00:39:41so Victor Martins

00:39:42who had a poor start

00:39:43to the race

00:39:44made his way back

00:39:45through the order

00:39:46came in

00:39:47to the pits early

00:39:48looks like he's going to execute

00:39:50this undercut perfectly

00:39:52and get himself challenging

00:39:54Alex Dunn

00:39:55Arvid Lindblad

00:39:56yet to come

00:39:57through pit lane

00:39:58he is in the lead

00:39:59for the time being

00:40:00but our effective battle

00:40:01for the lead

00:40:02is between

00:40:03Dunn

00:40:04and Martins

00:40:05and they are just

00:40:06six tenths apart

00:40:07and now we ride on board

00:40:09with Alex Dunn

00:40:10and Victor Martins

00:40:11is right there

00:40:12he's within DRS

00:40:13this is our battle

00:40:14for the lead pit

00:40:15yeah looking back from Dunn

00:40:16now towards Martins

00:40:17Martins has done brilliantly

00:40:18to come in at a good moment

00:40:20in the race

00:40:21he's got those tyres

00:40:22the harder tyres

00:40:23up to temperature quickly

00:40:24and has closed the gap

00:40:25to effectively the race lead

00:40:26so he's undone

00:40:27some of that

00:40:28poor start

00:40:29that he had

00:40:30at the beginning

00:40:31of the race

00:40:32here we go

00:40:33are we going to see

00:40:34the move this time

00:40:35down towards the first corner

00:40:36Alex Dunn

00:40:38is just trying to

00:40:40make his way

00:40:41out to the final corner

00:40:43smoothly

00:40:44and keep off Victor Martins

00:40:45Arvid Lindblad comes in

00:40:47we await to see

00:40:48Amari Cordillo

00:40:49in fifth place come in

00:40:50and now he will come in

00:40:51to pit lane

00:40:52gives a little bit of a

00:40:53toe to Pepe Marti

00:40:54behind

00:40:55and this will give us

00:40:56an idea of where

00:40:57exactly we are

00:40:58in this race

00:40:59it is Alex Dunn

00:41:00who leads Victor Martins

00:41:01Leo Fornaroli

00:41:02is behind

00:41:03Pepe Marti

00:41:04is next

00:41:05those four

00:41:06are all on hard tyres

00:41:07but as you pointed out

00:41:08Piers

00:41:09Luke Browning

00:41:10is on the soft tyre

00:41:11and has the fastest lap

00:41:12of this race

00:41:13and there he is

00:41:14at the top of screen

00:41:15he's challenging Pepe Marti

00:41:16for fourth

00:41:17is this going to be a change

00:41:18this time?

00:41:19yes it will

00:41:20and Pepe Marti

00:41:21does not defend

00:41:22Luke Browning goes through

00:41:23and that is a change

00:41:24of fourth place

00:41:25the driver who did start third

00:41:27alternative strategy

00:41:28under use for him

00:41:30he dropped back at the start

00:41:32his team told him

00:41:33do not worry about this

00:41:35and now he is starting

00:41:36to get some rewards

00:41:37from that

00:41:38it's whether he can make

00:41:39this last

00:41:40the entire race

00:41:41you notice that Marti

00:41:42didn't fight that

00:41:43particularly hard down

00:41:44towards turn 4

00:41:45that's because the team

00:41:46would have told him

00:41:47that Browning is on

00:41:48an alternative strategy

00:41:49and therefore fighting

00:41:50effectively would have

00:41:51been futile with Browning

00:41:52having those softer

00:41:53Pirelli tyres

00:41:54he would probably have

00:41:55made his way through

00:41:56eventually and therefore

00:41:57fighting would have

00:41:58just hurt Marti's

00:41:59opportunity against

00:42:00the likewise

00:42:01strategied cars

00:42:02around him

00:42:03back at this Jack

00:42:04Crawford pit stop

00:42:05a slow stop here

00:42:07oh no

00:42:08yeah

00:42:09front right

00:42:10looked like it was

00:42:11a gun issue

00:42:12because the drive

00:42:13the mechanic on the

00:42:14right rear

00:42:15had to go and assist

00:42:16with the right front

00:42:17that cost Crawford

00:42:18at least 5 or 6 seconds

00:42:19maybe 10 or so

00:42:20it's only going to make

00:42:21a tune-up as well

00:42:22for Trident

00:42:23oh

00:42:24rear wheel spinning

00:42:25on the Jack

00:42:26sir

00:42:27so clearly not a

00:42:28well oiled pit stop

00:42:29there

00:42:30it's a little issue

00:42:31and it cost him a bit

00:42:32time as well

00:42:33trying to go around the

00:42:34outside of Stanek

00:42:35can he get that done?

00:42:36yes he's got the softer tyres on

00:42:37more grit around the outside

00:42:38side by side on the exit

00:42:39I think he's probably going to

00:42:40swoop around the outside

00:42:41into turn 7

00:42:42does he?

00:42:43yes he does

00:42:44look driving from Dino

00:42:45you can see the difference of the tyres

00:42:47there

00:42:48Galbrieli Mini

00:42:49not a good start to the race from him

00:42:51from the green light

00:42:53dropped back off the line

00:42:54but he's been trying to climb back through

00:42:56ever since

00:42:57and now he is looking at 8th place

00:43:00and Roman Stanek

00:43:01Luke Browning

00:43:03is closing in on Leo Fornaroli

00:43:05speaking of Invicta racing drivers

00:43:07he's just done a 1.48.9

00:43:09he is almost 2 seconds a lap faster

00:43:12than Fornaroli and Martins

00:43:14and that's about the gap between them

00:43:16but let's focus on this battle

00:43:17because it is for points

00:43:18it's Roman Stanek vs Gabriele Mini

00:43:20and Mini is going to perform

00:43:22a switchback move here

00:43:23to try and take this place

00:43:24he's using the extra grip that he's got

00:43:26on those newer option tyres

00:43:28getting good traction

00:43:29out of turn 4

00:43:30and getting alongside Stanek

00:43:31Mini's race was not looking great

00:43:33in the first in

00:43:34but this alternative strategy

00:43:35going hard first

00:43:36and then soft

00:43:37seems to be paying off

00:43:38which again is alternative

00:43:39to what we saw

00:43:40our winner from Zayn Maloney

00:43:41do last year

00:43:44gap to be high

00:43:46is 1.8

00:43:48Ciao for now

00:43:49Ciao for now

00:43:51and continuing to extend

00:43:53that gap

00:43:54so the advantage that Martins

00:43:55had

00:43:56on

00:43:57pit exit

00:43:58of Dunn

00:43:59has gone away

00:44:00because now

00:44:01Dunn is pulling away

00:44:02at the tune of about

00:44:032 or 3 tenths

00:44:04a lap

00:44:05well Piers

00:44:06it's

00:44:07well we'll come back to that

00:44:08after this replay

00:44:09this is

00:44:10Sebastian Montoya

00:44:11fighting away

00:44:12with Villa Gomez

00:44:13Villa Gomez at the inside

00:44:14this is for track position

00:44:15but of course

00:44:16Villa Gomez has

00:44:17that pit stop penalty

00:44:18after speeding in the pit lane

00:44:20yeah

00:44:21so he has a penalty

00:44:22as you can see

00:44:23the red exclamation mark

00:44:25next to his name

00:44:26denoting that penalty

00:44:27to us

00:44:28on the graphics

00:44:29but 4 in queue

00:44:30here 5

00:44:31as we look at it now

00:44:324th in queue

00:44:33Luke Browning

00:44:34fastest on track

00:44:35almost 2 seconds a lap

00:44:36faster than OTA head

00:44:37he's on the soft tyre though

00:44:39can he keep this pace up

00:44:41can he take those tyres

00:44:43to the end at this pace

00:44:44Piers

00:44:45if he can

00:44:46we can see him

00:44:47doing big things

00:44:48in this race

00:44:49he could

00:44:50he could possibly challenge

00:44:51the likes of

00:44:52Alex Dunn

00:44:53as we watch

00:44:54Van Ammerswort

00:44:55of Villa Gomez

00:44:56who's having a great weekend

00:44:58he's fighting away

00:44:59here

00:45:00with the

00:45:01Invicta

00:45:02driver

00:45:03just ahead

00:45:04as

00:45:05that's John Bennett

00:45:06sorry

00:45:07fighting away

00:45:08with Roman Stanek

00:45:09and Joshua Derksen

00:45:10in behind that

00:45:11as they head through

00:45:13turn 4

00:45:144 now

00:45:15a shame

00:45:16looking back at those

00:45:17replays for the likes of

00:45:18Jack Crawford

00:45:19we saw him have problems

00:45:20in the pit lane here

00:45:21last year

00:45:22it's almost like

00:45:23we'd gone back a year

00:45:24there

00:45:25it's not a good weekend

00:45:26for him

00:45:27Megatune if

00:45:28an opportunity missed

00:45:29for him this weekend

00:45:30here we see

00:45:31John Bennett

00:45:32can he get points

00:45:33be a great weekend

00:45:34for him if he can

00:45:35and Joshua Derksen

00:45:36looking to recover some

00:45:37as Luke Browning

00:45:38is now just half a second

00:45:40behind Leo Fornaroli

00:45:41this

00:45:42yeah we're looking at

00:45:43John Bennett here

00:45:44chatting to John

00:45:45before the weekend

00:45:46and he said that it's

00:45:47going to be tricky

00:45:48for him

00:45:49because he's not used to

00:45:50having such a big difference

00:45:51in terms of pace

00:45:52between qualifying

00:45:53and the race

00:45:54but we're coming back

00:45:55to this battle now

00:45:56this is Browning

00:45:57in the number 7

00:45:58the blue car there

00:45:59the high-tech car

00:46:01with the Williams livery

00:46:02he's on the back

00:46:03of Fornaroli

00:46:04and I think this is a case

00:46:05of when not if

00:46:06Browning got more grip

00:46:07with those

00:46:08soft Pirelli tyres

00:46:09right on the back

00:46:10of Fornaroli

00:46:11all he needs is a good exit

00:46:12out of this final corner

00:46:13Browning's rear lights

00:46:14flashing

00:46:15it looks like he's

00:46:16accidentally switched

00:46:17the rain light on

00:46:18that's not indicating an issue

00:46:19he's going to have DRS

00:46:20Fornaroli wants to defend

00:46:21his podium position though

00:46:22going defensive early

00:46:23to try and break the toe

00:46:24but DRS open for Browning

00:46:26looks to the inside

00:46:27Fornaroli

00:46:28I think admits defeat

00:46:29at this stage

00:46:30Luke Browning

00:46:31down the inside

00:46:32of Fornaroli

00:46:33move

00:46:34complete

00:46:35and that is

00:46:36onto the podium places

00:46:37for the Williams Junior

00:46:38he's having quite the weekend

00:46:40hasn't he so far

00:46:41Luke Browning

00:46:42how far

00:46:43can he climb

00:46:44in this race

00:46:45that is

00:46:46onto the podium

00:46:47but his pace

00:46:48denotes that he can go

00:46:49even further

00:46:50up the podium steps

00:46:51in this race

00:46:52John Bennett

00:46:53still defending

00:46:54from

00:46:55Joshua Dirksen

00:46:56this the battle

00:46:57for P10

00:46:58we're on lap

00:46:5921

00:47:00of 32

00:47:01so far

00:47:02behind this

00:47:03of 3.2 seconds back

00:47:05your top 10

00:47:06Dunn

00:47:07Martins

00:47:08Browning

00:47:09Fornaroli

00:47:10Marty

00:47:11for sure

00:47:12is 2.5 back

00:47:13from Pepe

00:47:14Marty

00:47:15in 6th place

00:47:16and it's

00:47:17Beganovic

00:47:18Mini

00:47:19Stanek

00:47:20Bennett

00:47:21it seems

00:47:22Luke Browning

00:47:23is the quickest driver

00:47:24on track currently

00:47:25but Dunn

00:47:26is also setting

00:47:27very encouraging

00:47:28place on those

00:47:29hard tyres as well

00:47:30as we come through

00:47:319 and 10

00:47:32watching this battle

00:47:33down the bottom end

00:47:34of the top 10

00:47:35Bennett's pitted very hard

00:47:37I think he was the first driver

00:47:38to pit from that hard tyre

00:47:39to the soft

00:47:40trying to get that soft

00:47:41done as quickly as possible

00:47:42to get himself up the order

00:47:43and at this stage

00:47:44seems to be working

00:47:45if he can hold on

00:47:46to 10th

00:47:47it will be one point

00:47:48for Bennett in his first season

00:47:49in the Formula 2 Championship

00:47:51but Dirksen

00:47:52having pitted later

00:47:53for soft tyres

00:47:54similar strategy

00:47:55to Bennett

00:47:56but just doing it later on

00:47:57means that he's going to have

00:47:58slightly fresher

00:47:59soft tyres

00:48:00it's all about whether

00:48:01Bennett can keep these tyres

00:48:02hanging on

00:48:03Luke Browning

00:48:04is almost within that

00:48:05one second

00:48:06he is

00:48:07Luke Browning is going to have

00:48:08DRS now

00:48:09as we look back

00:48:10at John Bennett

00:48:11trying to get points

00:48:13and DRS

00:48:14will be enabled

00:48:15for Browning

00:48:16when he goes down to Turn 4

00:48:17We know Browning

00:48:18is a great place

00:48:19in the stronger tower

00:48:20so I'm going to use

00:48:21the advantage

00:48:22of the good tyre

00:48:23now to fill the gap

00:48:24and then hang on

00:48:25at the end

00:48:26it begins

00:48:27Thank you Alex

00:48:28that's giving us

00:48:29a rundown

00:48:30of what's going to happen

00:48:31at the end of this race

00:48:32Thank you

00:48:33it seems like he's

00:48:34I was about to say

00:48:35before he came on the

00:48:36team radio

00:48:37that he's setting impressive pace

00:48:38considering Browning

00:48:39is on the soft tyre

00:48:40and Dunn is on the hard tyre

00:48:42their pace is actually

00:48:43fairly comparable

00:48:44Dunn only about

00:48:45three tenths a lap slower

00:48:46which is not massive

00:48:47considering the tyre

00:48:48delta

00:48:49He's going around

00:48:50for reference

00:48:51Dunn is going

00:48:521.2 seconds faster

00:48:53than Martins

00:48:54whether he can then make

00:48:56that gap last

00:48:57at the end

00:48:58as he says

00:48:59but Browning

00:49:00is coming

00:49:01very fast

00:49:02at Victor Martins

00:49:03here

00:49:04as this battle

00:49:05just keeps going on

00:49:06it's really great

00:49:07isn't it?

00:49:08Bennett for Dirksen

00:49:09it is for the final point

00:49:10that we will hand out

00:49:11today

00:49:12points to the top ten

00:49:13similar format

00:49:28and Luke Browning

00:49:29you would have seen him

00:49:30out in FP1

00:49:31200 races

00:49:34and your Formula 1 grid

00:49:36later packed

00:49:37with graduates

00:49:38in Formula 2

00:49:40and we are looking

00:49:41at the stars

00:49:42of the future

00:49:43in Formula 1

00:49:44two of them

00:49:45going head-to-head

00:49:46going head-to-head

00:49:47here

00:49:48great inter

00:49:49F1 Junior fights

00:49:50going on

00:49:51between the two

00:49:52Williams Juniors

00:49:53are on different strategies

00:49:54Victor Martins

00:49:55second place

00:49:56Luke Browning third

00:49:57Luke Browning

00:49:58on those softer

00:49:59quicker tyres

00:50:00will he take advantage

00:50:01now and go through

00:50:02at Turn 1

00:50:03Victor Martins

00:50:04does not even defend

00:50:06and Luke Browning

00:50:07will sail by

00:50:08down to Turn 1

00:50:09and now it will all

00:50:10be about

00:50:11whether he can

00:50:12close that gap

00:50:13to the Irishman

00:50:14out front

00:50:15Alex Dunn

00:50:16who leads by

00:50:175.4 seconds

00:50:18but this has been great

00:50:19it was a gamble

00:50:20for Luke Browning

00:50:21putting the hard tyre on

00:50:22from P3

00:50:23when everyone else

00:50:24around him

00:50:25at the soft tyre

00:50:26but now he is starting

00:50:27to come through the field

00:50:28and the gamble

00:50:29Piz looks like

00:50:30it's paying off

00:50:31it's easy to say

00:50:32sitting here

00:50:33in the nice warm

00:50:34commentary box

00:50:35but I was intrigued

00:50:37that most of the drivers

00:50:38inside the top ten

00:50:39went for the soft tyre

00:50:40first because even though

00:50:41Maloney did do that

00:50:42did do that strategy

00:50:43last year

00:50:44I think arguably

00:50:45most drivers had more

00:50:46success with going

00:50:47towards the hard

00:50:48at the end of the race

00:50:49sorry the soft

00:50:50at the end of the race

00:50:51as opposed to that

00:50:52hard tyre

00:50:53but it's definitely

00:50:54working out for

00:50:55Browning so far

00:50:56he's up into second place

00:50:57and if he can continue

00:50:58the way he is

00:50:59he's almost guaranteed

00:51:00a podium

00:51:01he's going to have to

00:51:02work hard to close that gap

00:51:03to Dunn at the front

00:51:04of the field

00:51:05Dunn of course

00:51:06setting pretty good lap times

00:51:07considering his hard tyre

00:51:08but eventually

00:51:09if he keeps pushing this hard

00:51:11that hard tyre

00:51:12is going to fall away

00:51:13that high-tech team

00:51:14told him at the start

00:51:15you know

00:51:16don't worry about the

00:51:17option runners around you

00:51:18just

00:51:19let's win

00:51:20almost

00:51:21let's just win our race

00:51:22and he got into the lead

00:51:24of that race

00:51:25going past Joshua Dirksen

00:51:26who was the lead

00:51:27hard tyre runner

00:51:28in the opening phase

00:51:30built a gap

00:51:31and now

00:51:32he's starting to come

00:51:33through the field

00:51:34Dirksen down in 11th place

00:51:35of course

00:51:36we saw him have a

00:51:37bit of a problem

00:51:38here we go

00:51:39now it's just about

00:51:40monitoring this gap between

00:51:41Dunn

00:51:42and Browning

00:51:43and we can't count out

00:51:45Leo Fornaroli

00:51:46there Eva

00:51:47in 4th place

00:51:48he's right there

00:51:49as well

00:51:50and in the background

00:51:51Pepe Marti

00:51:52this race

00:51:53is far from over

00:51:54far from over

00:51:55I think

00:51:56we're going to have

00:51:57a closing

00:51:58battle here

00:51:59that is potentially

00:52:00going to come to

00:52:01a wonderful crescendo

00:52:02at the end

00:52:03of the race

00:52:04really good to see

00:52:05how mature

00:52:06Browning was thinking

00:52:07and the team

00:52:08of course

00:52:09of Hitek

00:52:10at that early stage

00:52:11them saying

00:52:12just bide your time

00:52:13the race will come to you

00:52:14and it is coming to him

00:52:15gap has reduced

00:52:16a little bit

00:52:17as we see a move

00:52:18that's Stanek

00:52:19Bennett's trying to go

00:52:20round the outside

00:52:21Bennett good move

00:52:22around the outside

00:52:23if he can get that one complete

00:52:24he's through at this stage

00:52:25but then Stanek

00:52:26we're now looking on board

00:52:27with his under pressure

00:52:28from Dirksen

00:52:29it looks like

00:52:30we potentially might have

00:52:313Y down towards turn 4

00:52:32is now Dirksen

00:52:33at the inside of Bennett

00:52:34Stanek makes a sweep

00:52:35round the outside

00:52:36in front of Bennett

00:52:37Bennett looking to the outside

00:52:38of Stanek

00:52:39Dirksen goes

00:52:40from up 2 places

00:52:41in 1

00:52:42and now look at

00:52:43the red ball driver

00:52:44at the inside of Bennett

00:52:45that's Olly Gertha

00:52:46trying to go through

00:52:47in the background as well

00:52:48so 4 way fight

00:52:49going on here

00:52:50as we come through

00:52:51the S section

00:52:52almost contact

00:52:53between Bennett

00:52:54and Stanek

00:52:55and Olly Gertha

00:52:56fancies a move

00:52:57round the outside

00:52:58of John Bennett

00:52:59surely that's not going to work

00:53:00Olly Gertha

00:53:01has he pulled it off

00:53:02I think he has

00:53:03down to turn 9

00:53:04Olly Gertha

00:53:05no stranger to a bold move

00:53:06this weekend

00:53:07we saw him get involved

00:53:08and go 3 wide

00:53:09on the outside

00:53:10of turn number 12

00:53:11yesterday just about

00:53:12made it through safely

00:53:13he's made it through

00:53:14on Bennett

00:53:15these drivers fighting

00:53:16very very hard

00:53:17because of course

00:53:18that is the battle

00:53:19over the final points

00:53:20paying positions

00:53:21now we've spoken a lot

00:53:23about Browning strategy

00:53:24remember Vishal

00:53:25Beganovic

00:53:26similar stuff

00:53:27being dumped again

00:53:28for them

00:53:29Mini likewise

00:53:30so those two doing

00:53:31great things

00:53:32let's watch this back please

00:53:33so this is Bennett

00:53:34trying to go up

00:53:35from 10th to 9th place

00:53:36around the outside

00:53:37of Stanek

00:53:38actually gets the move done

00:53:39very impressive

00:53:40on the brakes

00:53:41from Bennett

00:53:42goes around the outside

00:53:43gets ahead at the apex

00:53:44he then squeezes Stanek

00:53:45to the apex

00:53:46Stanek has to slow down

00:53:47this is what cost Bennett here

00:53:49that slide that he had

00:53:50in the middle of turn number 1

00:53:51pushes him wide

00:53:52on the exit of 1

00:53:53which means that his line

00:53:54through 2 is then

00:53:55very very shallow

00:53:56and he has to lift off a lot

00:53:57whereas the likes of Stanek

00:53:59and Dirksen could go

00:54:00flat out through 2

00:54:01and that's what allowed them

00:54:02back through on Bennett

00:54:03and unfortunately

00:54:04that backward momentum

00:54:05allowed Goethe through as well

00:54:06as Goethe has now got

00:54:07the DRS on Stanek

00:54:08and this is for the final place

00:54:09in the top 10

00:54:11Pepe Marti

00:54:12on soft tyres as well

00:54:14we talk about

00:54:15those drivers

00:54:16on the soft tyre

00:54:17oh almost contact

00:54:18on the exit

00:54:20there

00:54:21this is Olly Goethe

00:54:22apologies

00:54:23who in that fight

00:54:24this is the fight

00:54:25with John Bennett

00:54:26and Roman Stanek

00:54:27but almost

00:54:28you talk about Olly Goethe

00:54:29trying moves around the outside

00:54:30that was

00:54:31almost another one there

00:54:32almost

00:54:33quite get the move

00:54:34he didn't quite do

00:54:35as dramatically

00:54:36as he did yesterday

00:54:37of course we saw that 3 wide

00:54:38with

00:54:39I think it was Mini Goethe

00:54:40and who were we on board with

00:54:41I can't remember

00:54:42but that was

00:54:43one of the highlights of the season

00:54:44I'm sure already this year

00:54:45he played his race cool yesterday

00:54:48he wasn't featuring a huge amount at the start

00:54:50but then cut his way through at the end

00:54:52and potentially seeing the same again today

00:54:54from Goethe

00:54:55the Red Bull sponsored driver

00:54:56Alfbrand

00:54:57Alex Dunn has built his advantage

00:55:00further over Luke Browning

00:55:01as we are getting into the business end of the race

00:55:04the gap is now 6.2 seconds

00:55:07he was quicker

00:55:08then Browning

00:55:09last time for the first time

00:55:10in a few laps

00:55:11we'll keep an eye on that gap

00:55:13for you

00:55:14Browning is 3 seconds ahead of Martin

00:55:16so

00:55:17the top 3 are separating themselves all from each other

00:55:19but Fornaroli now has DRS on Martins

00:55:21let's watch this back

00:55:23this is Stanek vs. Goethe

00:55:25there was contact

00:55:26it was Bennett

00:55:27front wing actually clipped the back of Goethe

00:55:29lucky for both of them

00:55:30lucky for Bennett

00:55:31that he didn't end up with any lasting front wing damage

00:55:33or doesn't seem so

00:55:35lucky for Goethe

00:55:36that it didn't either send him round

00:55:38or potentially damage that right rear tyre

00:55:42but it doesn't seem to have deterred Goethe

00:55:44as he's now right under the rear wing of the Invicta

00:55:46of Stanek

00:55:47he's going to have DRS once again

00:55:48as we go down the main straight

00:55:49will we see another look down towards Turn 1

00:55:51that looks like

00:55:53Martin's falling into the clutches of Fornaroli now

00:55:55yeah he has DRS now

00:55:57Fornaroli has been

00:55:59just biding his time in this race

00:56:01he has gone missing from our pictures slightly hasn't he

00:56:04but

00:56:05and now he's going to become very much present again

00:56:08Leo Fornaroli

00:56:10who is leading at the start of this race

00:56:12that has been noted

00:56:14that incident that you picked up on there

00:56:16fears between Bennett and Goethe

00:56:18so we'll see if anything happens to that

00:56:20but we have a fight for the podium places once again

00:56:22and this fight continues to go on

00:56:25it has been going on for a number of laps

00:56:29Stanek's been very busy so far today

00:56:31yeah now Goethe is under pressure from Bennett once again

00:56:33of course we saw the contact between those two a little while ago

00:56:35but Lindblad due to all this fighting

00:56:37has come into this battle

00:56:39and is now going around the outside of Bennett

00:56:41looking for a cutback

00:56:43he'll put him on the inside of the exit this corner

00:56:45but that'll turn into the outside

00:56:47unless he can get through

00:56:48yes using the good traction

00:56:50from his car underneath him

00:56:52Lindblad makes a move on Bennett

00:56:55but this is not done yet

00:56:57Bennett has lost the place now

00:56:58but if this all gets a bit messy

00:56:59Bennett could still make his way through here

00:57:01we're looking back from Stanek to Goethe

00:57:03this for the last point today

00:57:05and you want any point you can get

00:57:07and Lindblad wants to get in the points once again

00:57:10he got it for the first time yesterday in Formula 2

00:57:14on just his second weekend

00:57:15and now he is through and past Oli Goethe

00:57:18so Arvid Lindblad a step closer now to being in the points

00:57:21this would suggest to me that Lindblad has got better tyre life

00:57:24at this stage of the race

00:57:25being able to pass Bennett into 8

00:57:27and then Goethe into 11

00:57:29he's making it look fairly easy

00:57:30now he's romped up onto the back of Stanek

00:57:32and it's going to be Lind prime position for a move

00:57:34down towards turn number 1

00:57:36we're looking at turn number 1 now

00:57:38and this is Fornaroli versus Victor Martins

00:57:41Martins in the blue car

00:57:42Fornaroli in the yellow in Victor

00:57:43Fornaroli catching the back

00:57:44gets a squirm out of turn 1

00:57:46which means that Martins just has a bit of breathing room

00:57:48down towards turn number 4

00:57:50Fornaroli trying to get himself onto the podium

00:57:54let's see if he can do it

00:57:56we saw him there at the opening round of the season

00:57:59with a second place on just his second weekend

00:58:02in Formula 2

00:58:04Leo Fornaroli kicking off his first full season

00:58:07very strong known for his consistency

00:58:09it's what took him to the Formula 3 title

00:58:11last year being consistent with podium places

00:58:14and now he wants to get 2 for 2

00:58:17in terms of Formula 2 podiums in the opening 2 rounds

00:58:22trying to get past Victor Martins here

00:58:24but Pepe Marti is starting to close in as well

00:58:28he's almost at the point where he can have the advantage of DRS as well

00:58:341.1 behind

00:58:36that's worth keeping an eye on in this battle

00:58:38all coming together for the final places on the podium

00:58:42we look at this battle down the order now

00:58:45Roman Stanek in the yellow car

00:58:47defending from Lindblad down towards turn

00:58:49Lindblad has DRS'd

00:58:51can he go around the outside using that extra grip he's got at this stage

00:58:54yes he can

00:58:55easy move around the outside

00:58:56so Stanek moves down

00:58:58Lindblad moves up

00:58:59Lindblad's got good pace at this stage of the race

00:59:01but looking back towards the front actually just for a second

00:59:04done

00:59:05his pace is hugely impressive

00:59:06the last corner is very strong

00:59:08use it

00:59:10good observation from the Invicta team there

00:59:13that Fornaroli is strong through that last corner

00:59:15that's

00:59:16there's anywhere on the circuit that you want to be strong

00:59:17that is it

00:59:18because it puts you in a good position

00:59:19down towards turn 1 as he is right now

00:59:22Fornaroli

00:59:23in the slipstream

00:59:24and using the DRS

00:59:25looks to the inside of Victor Martins

00:59:27Martins covers

00:59:28but Fornaroli goes further to the inside

00:59:30breaking down towards turn 1

00:59:31he's got it done at this stage

00:59:32but Martins will look to get a good exit

00:59:34and fight back down towards turn number 4

00:59:37but he has to be careful of Marti right behind

00:59:39Leo Fornaroli doing a great job there

00:59:42to get himself up to third place

00:59:44and

00:59:45well we all know what Pepe Marti can do in the final few laps

00:59:47but this battle is not over

00:59:48Victor Martins to the outside

00:59:50we're fighting for the final step

00:59:52on the podium

00:59:53and Victor Martins wants that third place

00:59:55back

00:59:56from Leo Fornaroli

00:59:57into the S's section

00:59:58now

00:59:59Pepe Marti

01:00:00is joining the party

01:00:01in this battle

01:00:02the third

01:00:03Richard Vershaw

01:00:042.5 seconds behind

01:00:05well one in on this as well

01:00:07Dino Beganovic

01:00:08likewise

01:00:09this could become a five-way battle

01:00:12Leo Fornaroli leading it for the time being

01:00:14here we go

01:00:15where are we

01:00:16this is Stanek getting overtaken by Gerther

01:00:18I think yes it is

01:00:19and Stanek looking to get the cut back

01:00:20Stanek's ties I think just falling away

01:00:22a little bit at this stage of the race

01:00:23we're on board with Stanek now

01:00:25this is down towards turn number 1

01:00:27as the two VAR cars go side by side into turn 1

01:00:31that's Villa Gomez making a move

01:00:33making a move on Bennett

01:00:34so Bennett

01:00:35he pitted early

01:00:36got himself track position

01:00:37but unfortunately

01:00:38his ties are falling away

01:00:39and he's falling down the field

01:00:40now we're looking at Marti on the back

01:00:42of Victor Martins

01:00:44Marti in that red ball livery number 3

01:00:46it looks like the Martins tires are just falling away

01:00:50doesn't have this doesn't have the pace at this stage of the race

01:00:53from 11th on the grid last year

01:00:55Pepe Marti got two podiums

01:00:58will history repeat itself for the young Spaniard

01:01:01he said in the build up to yesterday's race

01:01:05that he knows he can do good things from 11th on the grid

01:01:08and he went and won the race

01:01:09in one of his finest drives of his career

01:01:12and now he's charging towards the podium places

01:01:15next on the list

01:01:16Victor Martins DRS open

01:01:18Pepe Marti is through

01:01:20he's one step closer to the podium positions

01:01:22the Campos racing driver is into 4th

01:01:25and now he's just one step away from another double podium here at Bahrain

01:01:30that was the advantage of the better tyres

01:01:33that the Phi Marti has got at the moment

01:01:34got a good exit out of the last corner

01:01:36was close enough

01:01:37that he could clear Martins by Turn 1

01:01:39didn't actually have to make a decisive move down to Turn 1

01:01:42he could take his normal racing line

01:01:43which means he hasn't lost a huge amount of time

01:01:45and potentially there's time for Marti to chase down Fauna Roli as well

01:01:51out front Alex Dunn is doing a superb job

01:01:54the Irishman here on to take back to back

01:01:58feature race wins here at Bahrain

01:02:01for the Ronin Motorsport team

01:02:02it was Zayn Maloney last year

01:02:04and Alex Dunn looks set to make history for Ireland

01:02:06with the pace he's setting

01:02:07this is Dirksen versus the number 4 of Arvid Lindblad

01:02:12yeah Lindblad again managing to get the move done

01:02:15before the braking zone

01:02:17and it seems to be the way that things are going at the moment

01:02:20the drivers that have looked after their tyres better

01:02:22are able to make easy moves

01:02:23so conserving your tyres early on

01:02:25is the way to go

01:02:26as we see Miata trying to go around the outside

01:02:28and a big slide from Montoya

01:02:29I think his tyres

01:02:30especially his rear ones have cried enough

01:02:32we saw a wheel spin moment out of this number corner

01:02:35Turn 10 earlier in the race

01:02:37we've seen another wheel spin moment out of Turn 8

01:02:39he went from the softs to the hards

01:02:41and those hards clearly not allowing in the grip that he needs

01:02:44to fend off these drivers

01:02:45the road in driver 16 making his way through there

01:02:49that's Cordille moving up a place

01:02:52Amarie Cordille 16th

01:02:55Montoya has been a little bit out of sequence in terms of his strategy

01:02:58but he will look to come back again

01:03:01still fighting away with Amarie Cordille

01:03:05John Bennett in behind has had some great battles today

01:03:08Jack Crawford problem in the pit lane earlier in the race

01:03:13Cushmine 20th in Exterson

01:03:16Shields rounding out the field

01:03:18so far

01:03:19Pepe Marti closing in for 3rd

01:03:21this is Crawford

01:03:22just trying to get himself back up the order

01:03:25and recover in this race

01:03:27and he is now ahead of John Bennett

01:03:30as we go on to lap 33 to go

01:03:33in the 200th race of FIA Formula 2

01:03:36are we going to have a grandstand finish in the battle for the podium places

01:03:40meanwhile that's the 25 of Villa Gomez

01:03:43who is having a really strong weekend

01:03:45he'll leave this one high on confidence

01:03:47and that's another great move from the Mexican

01:03:50this time on Roman Stanek

01:03:52Stanek looking to go back past on the outside

01:03:54but can't get it done

01:03:55because Villa Gomez had the DRS down towards turn 4

01:03:58Villa Gomez moving on up to 12th place

01:04:01we run on board with Rotomo Miata

01:04:03I think this was last lap around

01:04:04we caught the second half of this battle

01:04:06but side by side going towards turn 6

01:04:09this was with Seb Montoya

01:04:12Montoya going wide into turn 6

01:04:15wide through 7

01:04:16then this is where Rotomo Miata went around the outside of turn 8

01:04:19not often seen

01:04:21just more traction of course

01:04:24Miata on the softer option tyres

01:04:27using that grip to get the traction out of the corner

01:04:29and make his way through

01:04:31Richard Vashor now closing in on Martins as well

01:04:36so the battle is hotting up here for 5th place

01:04:41Dino Beganovic is there as well

01:04:43we did say to watch for the pace of these two

01:04:45because they've been setting consistent pace

01:04:48and Beganovic is going with Vashor

01:04:50and they're both going after Martins

01:04:52so we could see 2 battles in the final 2 laps here Piers

01:04:56one for 5th, one for 3rd as well

01:04:59and Pepe Marti is almost there

01:05:01he's almost got DRS

01:05:03he's 400th away from having that

01:05:05but someone who does have DRS

01:05:07is Richard Vashor in the Orange MP

01:05:09and he is getting closer to Victor Martins

01:05:11Victor Martins' tyres are falling away

01:05:13his ART not looking after its tyres

01:05:16as well as some of the other drivers inside the top 10

01:05:18Martins under pressure

01:05:20good sector 1 for Martins

01:05:23he's managed to extend the gap ever so slightly

01:05:24and actually if anything

01:05:26it looks like Vashor

01:05:28they're coming under a little bit of pressure

01:05:29from Beganovic at this stage

01:05:31Beganovic in the back of that shop

01:05:32with the silver high-tech TGR car

01:05:35down through the S's

01:05:37is anyone going to get close enough

01:05:38to be able to make a move in this?

01:05:40Martins cannot afford a single mistake

01:05:42a mistake he appears

01:05:43and he loses 2 places

01:05:45because they are lining up

01:05:47Richard Vashor and Dino Beganovic here

01:05:50are ready to pounce

01:05:52if Martins is to make a single mistake

01:05:54there in 5th place

01:05:56saw a little bit of oil on the lens there

01:05:58from the exhaust of Vashor in front

01:06:00being wiped across

01:06:01the drivers have tear-offs on their visors

01:06:03to do a similar sort of thing

01:06:05we saw one of the drivers

01:06:06I think it was Vashor Ganovic earlier in the race

01:06:07going for a tear-off

01:06:08that won't distract them too much

01:06:10he'll be completely focused on the rear end

01:06:12of the driver in front

01:06:14Vashor in the orange car

01:06:16and then he'll also be looking ahead

01:06:17thinking if I can get past Vashor

01:06:18or if Vashor makes a clumsy move on Victor Martins

01:06:21I could be in for a couple of positions here

01:06:24it's going to be one more lap after this one

01:06:27we're looking back at that battle for 3rd place

01:06:29Martins going to be within DRS for Fornaroli

01:06:32we're going to have a grandstand finish

01:06:34for the final place on the podium

01:06:35as well as 5th downwards as well

01:06:37down to the final 2 corners

01:06:40here we go

01:06:41Fornaroli has been caught by Pepe Marti

01:06:44the battle is on for the final step of the podium

01:06:47and Marti is closing in

01:06:49Fornaroli knows it

01:06:50he's trying to break the toe

01:06:51down to turn 1

01:06:53meanwhile in the background

01:06:54Martins is doing the same

01:06:56and Pepe Marti is going to use all the track to the outside

01:06:59as he goes down the outside of Fornaroli

01:07:02and this battle will continue

01:07:04as they head up to turn 4

01:07:06Fornaroli versus Marti

01:07:08one more step left on the podium

01:07:10who's going to take it

01:07:11down to turn 4 we go

01:07:13Marti to the outside

01:07:14almost contact between the pair

01:07:16and Marti is going to go all the way round the outside

01:07:19looked like he went slightly deep on the brakes

01:07:21but we still have half a lap to go

01:07:23very assertive defence from Fornaroli there

01:07:26he said to Marti you're going on the outside

01:07:28he went all the way over the white line on the inside

01:07:31and then chopped back across to the outside

01:07:33not allowing Marti any space at the edge

01:07:36I think that was about the limit of where he could have gone

01:07:38any more in the race direction

01:07:39we'll be looking at that

01:07:40but you can see the tyres

01:07:42the rear tyres of Fornaroli

01:07:43falling away

01:07:45bit of a squirm under brakes

01:07:46Marti looking around the outside

01:07:48cut back on the exit of 10

01:07:50he'll have DRS down towards turn 11

01:07:52not normally a regulation overtaking opportunity

01:07:54but he's close enough that he might have a look

01:07:56Fornaroli defensive once again

01:07:58all the way to the inside

01:07:59chops back to the outside

01:08:00Marci I don't think will be happy with this

01:08:02but I think just about OK from Fornaroli

01:08:04Fornaroli again on the exit of turn 11

01:08:07just about holding off on the marbles

01:08:09goes Marti

01:08:10that won't help his grip for the next two corners

01:08:12really good defensive driving from Fornaroli there

01:08:15as they come through turn 13

01:08:17but out front history will be made on the 200th race

01:08:21of FIA Formula 2 as Ireland's

01:08:24Alex Dunn takes his first win

01:08:26it's back to back feature race wins

01:08:28for road in motorsport at Bahrain

01:08:30and the final step of the podium will be decided

01:08:33at the very final corner

01:08:35and on the run to the line

01:08:37and it will be Leonardo Fornaroli

01:08:40who just just hangs on

01:08:43ahead of Pepe Marti

01:08:44to join Luke Browning on the podium

01:08:47Alex Dunn taking the win out front

01:08:51his first win in Formula 2

01:08:53they know how to win a feature race

01:08:55around here in Formula 2

01:08:58they did it with Zay Maloney last year

01:09:00and now they've done it

01:09:02with Alex Dunn this year

01:09:04Luke Browning finishes in second

01:09:06Leo Fornaroli in third

01:09:08Wow! Well done mate, well done

01:09:10Let's go!

01:09:14You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this mate

01:09:17It's been so long

01:09:19thank you so much guys

01:09:20good to meet a lot

01:09:21what a race

01:09:23what a race indeed

01:09:24Dunn just having

01:09:26unbelievable pace if I'm honest

01:09:28I thought he was going to burn those soft

01:09:30those hard Pirelli tyres up

01:09:32in that second half of the race

01:09:35but he just kept on going

01:09:37his last lap was still

01:09:39six, seven tenths faster than Browning's

01:09:42so

01:09:43Rodin clearly have got something in the locker

01:09:45in terms of tyre management

01:09:47around this bar and international circuit

01:09:49we saw it last year

01:09:50dominant victory in the feature race

01:09:51from Zayn Maloney from third place

01:09:53and another victory for Rodin

01:09:55from not the front row

01:09:56not the front row

01:09:59P2 Luke, well done

01:10:01Great race

01:10:02Great race

01:10:03Great race

01:10:04Well done mate

01:10:06Great strategy

01:10:07from Hitek

01:10:08and well executed

01:10:09from Luke Browning

01:10:10Yeah I think he took the alternative strategy

01:10:12to a lot of the other drives

01:10:13inside the top ten

01:10:14and I watched last year

01:10:16I thought that it was actually

01:10:17the better strategy

01:10:18and it proved for Browning better this time

01:10:20it seems to be only Rodin really

01:10:21that can make that alternative

01:10:23of going soft then hard work for them

01:10:25but Browning

01:10:26brilliant drive

01:10:27he bided his time

01:10:28a wise race

01:10:29and they said to him

01:10:30at one point

01:10:31just wait

01:10:32Good job mate

01:10:33good job

01:10:34first podium on your first feature race

01:10:36well defended there

01:10:37and good race mate

01:10:38that was a good race

01:10:39well

01:10:40yeah

01:10:41sorry I couldn't take the win mate

01:10:43good point

01:10:44good victory

01:10:45we keep going

01:10:46he's known for his consistency

01:10:50and he keeps it up

01:10:51two podiums

01:10:52in two rounds

01:10:53Leo Fornaroli

01:10:54he is just racking up

01:10:56the points

01:10:57and the podiums

01:10:58he earned that third place

01:10:59as well

01:11:00he had to work hard for it

01:11:01no doubt

01:11:02Pepe Marti

01:11:03yesterday's winner

01:11:04in the sprint race

01:11:05had better pace towards the end of the race

01:11:06but

01:11:07valiant defence

01:11:08from

01:11:09our third place driver

01:11:10Victor

01:11:11of Fornaroli

01:11:12he'll be happy with that one

01:11:13but probably not as happy as this man

01:11:15Alex Dunn takes

01:11:16his first victory

01:11:17in FIA Formula 2

01:11:18the McLaren driver development member

01:11:21the McLaren driver development member

01:11:22Alex Dunn pulls into Parc Ferme

01:11:25and into first place

01:11:27climbs out of the car

01:11:29and he can now call himself

01:11:31not just a podium finisher

01:11:33but a race winner

01:11:34in Formula 2

01:11:35and that is a superb performance from Alex Dunn

01:11:39it is history made

01:11:41and Zac Brown will be very pleased with the performance he saw there

01:11:45he took the tyres to the end

01:11:478.2 seconds clear

01:11:49of everyone else

01:11:50and it's another feature race win here

01:11:52for Rodin Motorsports

01:11:53well done for Luke Browning

01:11:55what a weekend for him overall

01:11:57in the F1 car

01:11:58and on the podium as well

01:11:59and a great qualifying for him

01:12:01to kick things off

01:12:02and Leo Fornaroli

01:12:03on the podium for them

01:12:05but great to see McLaren

01:12:07a good bounce back for Alex Dunn

01:12:09and there's his father as well

01:12:11huge celebrations

01:12:12his father used to be his mechanic in karting

01:12:15they've had such a good relationship

01:12:16and he'll be so so pleased with that

01:12:18well no

01:12:19that's a really really great moment to see

01:12:22Leo Fornaroli

01:12:24well the win has escaped him

01:12:26but nevertheless

01:12:27that is a very very good performance from him

01:12:31and it's just the point

01:12:33it's the point that took him to the title last year

01:12:35in Formula 3

01:12:36yeah strong showing from Fornaroli

01:12:38fastest by a margin in qualifying

01:12:40a podium in the feature race

01:12:42only the tyre management really

01:12:44that fell away

01:12:45potentially something that Invicta can work on

01:12:46in these high-tech races

01:12:48but there's our man of the day

01:12:49Alex Dunn

01:12:50brilliant

01:12:51amazing

01:12:52superlative

01:12:53so many words you can use

01:12:54but he drove away from the front of the field

01:12:56winning dominantly in the end

01:12:58and in his rookie season

01:13:00very impressive

01:13:01I think it's how he bounced back

01:13:02because he ended with a crash on the last lap

01:13:04in the sprint yesterday

01:13:06and to recover from that

01:13:08to almost put that to one side overnight

01:13:10and say

01:13:11come out today

01:13:12and just

01:13:13go away

01:13:14and drive away from the field

01:13:15it's put a statement down

01:13:16hasn't it

01:13:17this season

01:13:18the Dunn's a very confident young driver

01:13:19I've spoken to him before

01:13:20he raced in

01:13:21TV3 championship I've been with before

01:13:23and even as a young driver

01:13:24you know

01:13:25he's only 16-17 years old

01:13:26very very confident

01:13:27and that showed

01:13:28this weekend

01:13:29well

01:13:30Alex Dunn

01:13:31is now standing by

01:13:32with Davide Valzecki

01:13:33let's hear

01:13:34what he has to say

01:13:37congratulations Alex

01:13:38huge performance

01:13:39your first victory in Formula 2

01:13:41what does it mean

01:13:42this type of race for you

01:13:44this type of victory

01:13:45yeah

01:13:46I have no words

01:13:47to be honest

01:13:48you know

01:13:49I think

01:13:50I knew coming into the weekend

01:13:51the pace was strong

01:13:52and you know

01:13:53all the race runs we did in testing

01:13:54were generally quite positive

01:13:55and

01:13:56of course

01:13:57maybe I didn't expect this

01:13:58I knew the pace was there

01:13:59to do something good

01:14:00but maybe not this good

01:14:01and

01:14:02but no I think

01:14:03definitely

01:14:04I think after yesterday

01:14:05to be honest I was a bit disappointed

01:14:06after yesterday

01:14:07I wasn't really happy with the job I did

01:14:08so I think today I kind of

01:14:09redeem myself

01:14:10and bounce back really well

01:14:11impressive your race pace at the end of the race

01:14:13impressive at the beginning

01:14:14when you are tacked for the leadership

01:14:16what do you think

01:14:17could be your season this one

01:14:19it's too early to say

01:14:20you know

01:14:21of course

01:14:22not only

01:14:23I think I did a great job

01:14:24but of course

01:14:25Rodin also won here last year

01:14:26so it proves that they have a really good car

01:14:28so

01:14:29I think you know

01:14:30it's not only down to me

01:14:31they've massively helped me as well

01:14:32but

01:14:33I think if we can continue the form

01:14:34I feel like I'm driving at a good level at the minute

01:14:35and

01:14:36if I can continue at that

01:14:37then I don't see why we'll be contenders

01:14:38well done

01:14:39congratulations

01:14:40thank you

01:14:41there was a lot of excitement

01:14:43in Ireland

01:14:44when Alex Dunn

01:14:45announced the news

01:14:46that he was coming to Formula 2

01:14:47and I think

01:14:48he helped here

01:14:49even more

01:14:50now

01:14:51throughout the rest of today

01:14:52and tomorrow

01:14:53now they've seen him win in Formula 2

01:14:55that's amazing

01:14:56and McLaren

01:14:57would be very very happy

01:14:59with the performance he put in today

01:15:00yeah
