Qualifying
Tasanapol built momentum throughout the session and delivered when it mattered most, securing his best qualifying result of the season with second place, by 0.039 seconds from first. On the other hand, Kush 13th fastest time.
Sprint Race
Tasanapol suffered from a mechanical issue that compromised his fight for points. Kush delivered an encouraging and productive race, making a pit stop in preparation for the following day’s Feature Race, finishing 15th.
Feature Race
Tasanapol made a very strong start, smartly taking the lead of the race before the first corner. He switched to the hard compound as soon as the pit window opened and was dropped to 14th, but he drove a flawless race, kept his composure and maintained excellent pace. Finishing second, he celebrated his first Formula 2 podium.
Kush made a strong start, completed the opening lap in ninth place and climbed as high as fourth on the hard tyres. After his pit stop, tyre degradation proved too severe for him to remain in contention for the points.
Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak
“The team optimized everything, so all I had to do was perform to the best of my ability. For the past three race weekends we’ve been fighting at the front, and it’s rewarding to see our approach paying off. The goal is to keep performing at this level over the long term, and hopefully do even better with a little more luck.”
Sébastien Philippe
“For the third consecutive race weekend this season, Tas qualified in the top six, and his first Formula 2 podium is a well-deserved reward for his hard work and determination. On Sunday, he managed both his tyres and the race perfectly in what could easily have become a trap due to the safety car periods and the red flag. Kush showed strong pace at Spa, but a small mistake in qualifying affected the rest of his weekend. He then came close to stalling on the Sprint race grid, and luck was not on his side with the strategy in the Feature race. Beside this, we’re confident of wrapping things up near the top before the summer break !”
