Verschoor Wins Losail F2 Sprint, Equals Series Wins Record

The eighth career win puts him third in the standings on 162 points after a Safety Car‑disrupted sprint.

Overview

  • Richard Verschoor reclaimed the lead by lap four and beat Joshua Duerksen by 0.970s, with Rafael Villagomez third after a last‑lap fight.
  • Debutant Nikola Tsolov ran in the podium places early but lost out in the final‑lap battle and finished 10th.
  • Two Safety Cars shaped strategy as several drivers switched to soft tyres during the first neutralisation.
  • The first Safety Car followed contact between Trident team‑mates Laurens van Hoepen and James Wharton that retired Wharton and is under post‑race investigation.
  • Kush Maini stopped on track after pitting and retired, Cian Shields’ spin caused the second Safety Car, and Arvid Lindblad faces a likely penalty for a pit‑lane infringement.
