Ahmed dominates race 2 in Hungary

Daniel Ticktum (Motopark), once again in pole position, was not able to get off to an optimal start and lost two places at the start against the rookies Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP) and Marcus Armstrong (Prema Powerteam). On a circuit where overtaking is difficult, Ahmed broke away from the group, quickly building a five-second lead over his pursuers. His compatriot at Red Bull Junior Team saw its race stopped from the 4the lap after a technical incident with his brakes.

Enaam Ahmed wins his first race in the European championship F3 and becomes the 5e different winner in 5 races this season. He is ahead of Marcus Armstrong and Alex Palou who puts a second Hitech GP on the podium after Ticktum's troubles. Guan Yu's Prema Powerteam Zhou and Robert Shwartzman placed at the foot of the podium.

After a long battle that lasted the entire race, Jehan Daruvala (Carlin) finished 6e before Mick Schumacher (Prema Powerteam). The Pugs of Ferdinand Habsburg and Sacha fenestraz rank 8e and 9e while Ben Hingeley (Hitech GP) completes the top 10.
