Nikola Tsolov secured his second victory of the F2 season during the sprint race at the Miami Grand Prix, capping off a closely contested battle with Laurens van Hoepen. The win solidifies Tsolov’s position at the top of the F2 standings, where he currently holds a nine-point advantage over van Hoepen. The primary battle for pole position featured Tsolov of Campos racing against van Hoepen of Trident.
While Tsolov’s early maneuvering appeared to allow van Hoepen to gain track position, the contest remained highly competitive throughout the race. By Lap 13, van Hoepen managed to take the lead from Tsolov. The ensuing laps saw the two drivers trading the lead repeatedly as they fought for the top spot with several laps remaining.
The intensity of the duel continued until the final lap. In a decisive moment, Tsolov overtook van Hoepen on the final straight to claim the victory. This performance marked Tsolov’s first F2 win on US soil, with a recorded time of 0.170 seconds.
Adding to the action, Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Dunne joined the fight for the lead late in the race but ultimately finished in third place. The victory underscores Tsolov’s strong form as he builds a substantial lead in the championship standings over van Hoepen.
