La Sprint Race yesterday's wet saw News triumph on the circuit of Montmelo, but in today's Feature he is the teammate Oliver Berman to conclude on the top step of the podium. The RedBull Junior Driver also goes up with the Englishman, Enzo Fittipaldi e Victor martins.
Bearman signs the brace for Prema
Double victory in Formula 2 for the team from Vicenza Prema, who manages to bring both of his riders to the first position. Yesterday the winner's cup went to Frederick News, which with a amazing guide managed to make his way through the pouring rain of Barcelona. Today it is instead up to Ollie Bearman, the young driver of the Ferrari Driver Academy who also conquered the pole position on Friday qualifying.
An turbulent and exciting start which saw action as early as the first corner. Despite Bearman's good cue when the traffic lights go out, I'm also good off the bat Ayumu Iwasa and the pilot of the Carlin, Enzo Fittipaldi. The two RedBull Junior Drivers flanked the young Englishman in turn 1, going wheel to wheel. Despite the counters from Iwasa, Bearman comes out well and returns to lead the group.
Il early pit stop on round 11 of fittipaldi, allows him to warm up the tires well to attack Bearman as soon as the Englishman returns to the track after the tire change. The Prema pilot however, thanks to the advantage gained, he manages to go out in front of Fittipaldi. Bearman fights his way through the drivers who have not yet made the pit stop and somehow manages to stretch on Fittipaldi. Ollie wins again, after theen-plain of Baku!
Show of Vesti and Martins and infinite penalties
An strategy different for Martins and Vesti turns out to be a good fit for both. The two find themselves in the top positions of the standings and push hard while the rest of the grid passes through the pit lane to mark the tire change. The pit stop on lap 25 allows the two drivers to have one fresher tire in the final laps decisive for the race.
Vesti is in front Piles e Pourchaire, but makes them a mouthful, while the Frenchman Martins comes out in front of his ART teammate. Both manage to overcome Doohan, but then the Martins comeback is mined by Iwasa, who raises a wall in defense of third position. Martins has more, surpasses Iwasa and sets out to hunt for Fittipaldi, who, however, fails to reach. News tries, unsuccessfully, to attack the Japanese of DAMS, concluding fifth.
Many, many and maybe even too many penalties it rained in Montmelò. The first to take the black and white flag for track limits it was Frederik News on round 7/37, then follow Maloney, Cordeel e Correa. The flag then turned into a penalty for Cordeel, Maloney and Benavides. The unfortunate American got into a negative whirlpool, which made him collect more than 30 penalty seconds for not correctly serving the previous penalties.
La Formula 2 goes on vacation, the next appointment is in a month. Where? Austria!
