F2 Abu Dhabi: Vesti victory sets up final day title showdown
Vesti arrived at the Yas Marina Circuit with a 25 point deficit to championship leader Theo Pourchaire. He needed to score at least two more points than Pourchaire on Saturday to have a chance on Sunday. Vesti dropped from first to fourth on the opening lap but recovered to the front in the closing stages, winning the race with a 3.8 second margin. Pourchaire started 14th but managed to finish seventh, although he was under investigation for a practice start infringement. Vesti made a lunge on Enzo Fittipaldi to take the lead but Fittipaldi quickly regained the position as they went four wide with Hadjar and Verschoor. Vesti made a bold move to pass Hadjar and closed in on Fittipaldi, eventually taking the lead on lap 20.
