La Formula 2 concludes his adventure in Austria with the Feature Races of Sunday. A dry race, undermined once again by track limits. TO triumph it's Dutch Richard Verschor, on the podium with him too Ayumu Iwasa e Frederick News.
Verschoor dedicates his victory to Dilano
The start was perfect di Frederick News, a Prema driver who started from second place. When the traffic lights go out, launch e surpasses Martins, which even comes superato from his teammate, Theo Pourchaire. Vesti extends the gap, but on lap 11 he is called back to the pits to change tires.
Time ahead there is Enzo Fittipaldi, followed by Richard Verschoor and Iwasa's DAMS. Twist on lap 28, which changes the fate of the Feature Race. Arthur Leclerc loses a tire and is forced to stop at the side of the track. The is exposed yellow flag and the Virtual Safety Car, but then the Safety Car is brought onto the track. They take advantage of it for the free pit stop Verschoor, Hauger and Maini, sadunato instead fittipaldi who had already passed the pit lane entrance.
News resumes the leadership of the race, but verschoor behind with the super soft it's flying. With two laps to go, Verschoor makes a mouthful of Doohan and the Japanese Iwasa does the same. The Dutchman from Van Amersfoort Racing can now go after Vesti, who is struggling due to his more worn tyres. To the giro 39 is verschoor and Iwasa they surpass the Dane, now it is fight between two for first position. They go shoulder to shoulder, verschoor closes all doors and wins the Feature Race, dedicating it to his friend Dialno, who passed away yesterday in Spa.
Leclerc's rear right flies
The surprise, for some an unexpected event, that reopened the race it was the Safety car, took to the track at turn 28 by road di Leclerc. The DAMS driver was forced to stop in the grass after losing the right rear wheel.
In addition to Leclerc, the one who lost us the most after this episode is News, that he was dominating on the Spielberg circuit. Bitter in the mouth also for Pourchaire e Martins, which after the fantastic ones qualifying on Friday and the podium for number #6 in the Sprint Race yesterday, fail to enter the top 5. Come back crazy about English Bearman, who finished the race from P19 in fifth position.
The riskiest strategy paid off today, but it will still be a Silverstone?
