F2 Saudi Arabia: Fittipaldi dominates for maiden feature race win
Maini started the feature race from pole position due to Oliver Bearman’s withdrawal, who replaced Carlos Sainz at Ferrari due to appendicitis. Despite a wild start, with incidents involving Pepe Marti and Roman Staněk, Marti was cleared of guilt for the collision with Franco Colapinto. Gabriel Bortoleto retired early due to mechanical issues, requiring a safety car period for track clearance. The majority of the field started on supersoft tires, with only a few opting for mediums. Fittipaldi eventually took the lead after a strategic pit stop, passing Maini with DRS assistance. Colapinto’s incident brought out another safety car, affecting tire strategy for drivers like Correa, Barnard, and Cordeel. Fittipaldi’s race-winning move on lap 22 was a highlight, and Hauger faced an investigation for a potential pit entry violation.
