Nikola Tsolov achieved his second victory of the F2 season during the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, defeating Laurens van Hoepen in a highly competitive race. Following this win, Tsolov assumed the lead in the F2 standings midway through the second round, establishing a nine-point advantage over van Hoepen. The race featured a persistent battle between Tsolov, driving for Campos, and van Hoepen, representing Trident.
Early in the event, Tsolov’s maneuver into Turn 16 appeared to concede the lead to van Hoepen, but Tsolov remained in contention through Lap 10. By Lap 13, van Hoepen managed to take the lead. The ensuing laps saw Tsolov and van Hoepen trade the top position multiple times with seven laps remaining.
The intense duel continued until the final lap, where the two drivers exchanged the lead. Tsolov ultimately reclaimed the lead on the final straight, securing the first F2 victory in the United States with a margin of 0.170 seconds. Alex Dunne of Rodin Motorsport joined the fight for the lead near the end of the race but finished in third place.
