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

Big one for Montoya there, thankfully he’s okay. Probably finishing behind the SC, a bit of an anticlimax to a very busy race.

[Adrian W]

Dunn has to get a big penalty for that, he was already under investigation for the same thing against Montoya

[Sandpit Steve]

Well we did get one lap at the end, but everyone held position, at least among the points-scorers. Tsolov with the win after what must have been half a dozen lead changes with Mansell.

Be interesting to see if the result states the same

The only summons so far is for Alex Dunne, who finished 4th, for a safety car restart infringement.

F2 Sprint about to start, it’s before the F1 qualifying this weekend.

[Sandpit Steve]

After a great start from Bearman, I thought he was going to disappear into the distance, but Marti is still inside the DRS at the half way point.

[Sandpit Steve]

Well we all missed the F3 race at silly o’clock, I’m halfway through re-watching it. F2 feature race goes off on the hour, in about five minutes’ time.

Edit: F3 race is definitely worth watching, top six covered by two seconds at the end of 26 laps, with position changes right to the last lap.

Nightmare for pole-sitter Hauger, stalled on the dummy grid.

Maini and Crawford also stalled, all starting from the pit lane.

Lap 9 F2 Kimi Antonelli stalled as he left pit box........... got it started again, but lost a massive amount of time, dead last

He’s not making a great case for himself for the Merc seat.

[Sandpit Steve]

Now they’re looking at Marti’s pit stop. Was he in the pit lane before the VSC was called?

[Sandpit Steve]

Campos team tying themselves in knots with the team strategy - as Colapinto on the alt strategy comes up right behind the pair of them.

[Leithen]

Amateur hour by Campos. Hadjar continues to suggest he doesn’t have the temperament for any promotion into F1.

[Sandpit Steve]

Porsches being Porsches, lots of rubbing and a somewhat liberal view of track limits. Timo Glock in the ‘celebrity car’ #911 was doing well until a little excursion at the last corner.
