Nikola Tsolov secured his second victory of the F2 season at the Miami Grand Prix, following a highly competitive sprint race against Laurens van Hoepen. This performance solidifies Tsolov’s position atop the F2 standings, where he now holds a nine-point advantage over van Hoepen. The race featured a sustained battle for the lead between the two drivers, who drove for Campos and Trident, respectively.
Early in the event, Tsolov’s movement into Turn 16 suggested an opportunity for van Hoepen to claim the top spot, but Tsolov maintained his position. The lead changed hands multiple times throughout the contest. By Lap 13, van Hoepen managed to take the lead from Tsolov.
For the remainder of the race, the rivalry between Tsolov and van Hoepen remained intense, with the two competitors exchanging the lead until the final laps. The battle culminated on the last lap, where Tsolov successfully reclaimed the lead from the Dutch driver on the final straight, taking the win with a margin of 0.170 seconds. Adding to the action, Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Dunne joined the fight for the top positions but ultimately finished in third place.
Tsolov’s victory marks him as the first F2 winner in the United States. The strong showing allows Tsolov to maintain his commanding lead in the championship standings as the season progresses.
