DAMS Lucas Oil’s Kush Maini secured his first victory of the 2025 campaign by winning the Formula 2 Sprint Race in Monaco from reverse-grid pole position. The Indian racing driver led from the start and was followed by the Prema Racing driver Gabriele Mini, with Luke Browning of Hitech claiming the final podium position after Arvid Lindblad’s penalty.
Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Dunne took pole position from Victor Martins, who had to start from 10th place in the Sprint. Maini started from pole position and was joined on the front row by Browning, with Mini starting from third and Jak Crawford of DAMS Lucas Oil starting in fourth.
Maini successfully held onto his lead throughout the race despite Mini and Crawford challenging him. Browning moved up to second after Mini climbed to second place, and Crawford’s collision with Lindblad allowed both Browning and Lindblad to gain positions.
However, Maini managed to maintain his lead over Mini and extended his advantage after a Safety Car period caused by a collision between Durksen and Goethe. The race resumed with Maini fending off Mini’s attacks and eventually securing the victory in Monaco.
