Drugovich crowned champion, Vips winner of the Sprint

End of suspense in F2. Leader for many months and arrived at Monza with a lead of 69 points, Felipe Drugovich is the new champion of the category succeeding Oscar piastri on the list.

Down in the first lap after contact with Amaury Cordeel (VAR), the MP Motorsport driver then needed Theo Pourchaire (ART Grand Prix) does not do better than 6^e with the best lap in the race. Finally, the Habs ranked 17^e while he has long been in the fight for a finish in the Top 10.

Théo Pourchaire far from this 6^e Instead, Felipe Drugovich could celebrate for good as he finally put both hands on the champion trophy even if it was only a matter of time. A logical champion as the Brazilian has shown great consistency with 18 finishes in the Top 5 in 25 races including 5 victories (Saudi Arabia, two in Spain, Monaco and the Netherlands) since the start of the season.

Vips on the top step of the podium

On the track, it was Jüri Vips (Hitech GP) who imposed his law. The Estonian, who had a very difficult season both on a sporting and non-sporting level, took advantage of the poor start of Logan sargeant (Carlin) to immediately go back to 2^e position.

Well helped by the slipstream at the time of the restart, Jüri Vips made short work of Frederik Vesti (ART Grand Prix) at the first corner. Too fast to be caught by the Dane, the Hitech GP driver crossed the finish line alone to take his first victory of the season. Jehan Daruvala (ART Grand Prix) completed the podium.
