Nikola Tsolov achieved his second victory of the F2 season during the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, securing the win in a competitive battle with Laurens van Hoepen. Following this race, Tsolov extended his lead in the F2 standings, now holding a nine-point advantage over van Hoepen. The race featured a sustained contest for the lead between Tsolov, driving for Campos, and van Hoepen, representing Trident.
Initially, Tsolov’s maneuver into Turn 16 appeared to allow van Hoepen a chance at the top spot; however, Tsolov maintained his position ahead of the Dutch driver through Lap 10. The dynamic shifted on Lap 13 when van Hoepen briefly took the lead. For the remainder of the race, Tsolov and van Hoepen engaged in a back-and-forth battle for the top position, swapping the lead multiple times with seven laps remaining.
The intense rivalry continued until the final lap, culminating in an exchange of the lead. Tsolov ultimately reclaimed the pole position on the final straight to win the race by a margin of 0.170 seconds. Alex Dunne of Rodin Motorsport joined the fight for first place late in the race but finished in third.
