2024 F1 SUPPORT RACES THREAD - F2, F3, ACADEMY *SPOILERS*

[Petrus1983]

I missed the F3 - but let's see what F2 can produce.

[Sandpit Steve]

Just catching up. What a brilliantly hectic F3 sprint race, non-stop action for the whole race, several changes of the lead in the early stages, a number of overtakes every single lap, and only one minor incident in 20 laps. Well done to all the young drivers involved, more races like that please!

[Sandpit Steve]

F2 race not quite so clean, only one second between lights out and the first crash, and with the front-runners causing the incidents. A good last few laps though, with a five-way fight for the minor podium places behind the very dominant Hadjar.

[Sandpit Steve]

10 laps into the F3 Feature race, and it seems that yesterday’s optimism for good driving was somewhat misplaced.

A goood race from the dominant front four drivers at the end though, with a well-deserved debut feature win for Dino Beganovic.

A lot of poor driving and penalties behind though.

Now onto the F2 feature.

It is if you’re on F1TV

It’s been a month off for the usual support races, thanks to F1 doing flyaways, but we’re back with the Acadamy in Miami - and Abbi Pulling qualified half a second clear of everyone else. She starts on pole for the first race, which is about to go off now.

Thanks, Steve, I'd forgotten what was on.

Great move there from Chloe Chambers.

Great opportunistic move by Chambers! She’s been going great in the Porsche Sprint Challenge this season

[Sandpit Steve]

This has been a good race to watch, but we’ve seen nothing of Pulling and Pin out in front, those two being a class above the field.

And another.

[bockaaarck]

Chambers is having a great race!

[Sandpit Steve]

LOL Chambers again getting two cars on the straight.

Also an astonishing recovery from Bianca Bustamente, up into the points having stalled on the grid.

Yep, Bustamante did a great job, didn’t panic just got stuck in

+1 to both of those, and a good race all the way through

[Sandpit Steve]

That was great to watch. They really need to see promotion from this series though. Abbi and Doriane need to be in a better car next year.

F1 Academy will have a Netflix series out next year https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/f1-acad...
