Nikola Tsolov achieved his second victory of the F2 season during the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, following a competitive battle with Laurens van Hoepen. Tsolov now holds the lead in the F2 standings midway through the second round, maintaining a nine-point advantage over van Hoepen. Throughout the race, drivers from Campos (Tsolov) and Trident (Van Hoepen) remained at the forefront.
Early in the contest, Tsolov’s maneuver into Turn 16 appeared to allow van Hoepen a chance at the lead, but Tsolov maintained his position behind van Hoepen until Lap 10. By Lap 13, van Hoepen managed to take first place. The contest for the lead remained intensely competitive, with Tsolov and van Hoepen trading the top spot for the remaining seven laps.
The battle culminated on the final lap, where the two drivers exchanged the lead. Tsolov ultimately reclaimed the lead over the Dutch competitor on the final straight to secure the victory, marking the first F2 win in the United States for Tsolov, with a margin of 0.170 seconds. Alex Dunne, driving for Rodin Motorsport, joined the battle for first place late in the race but ultimately finished in third position.
