McLaren withdraws from Island X Prix II after second roll
NEOM McLaren has announced that they are withdrawing from the remainder of the Island X Prix II weekend in Sardinia due to two major incidents. The first incident involved driver Emma Gilmour rolling out of the first practice session, resulting in the destruction of the team’s car and hospitalization for Gilmour. The second incident occurred during the Redemption Race, where driver Tamara Molinaro flipped after contact with JBXE’s Hedda Hosas, causing heavy damage to the car. Despite Molinaro escaping without major injuries, the team decided to withdraw from the weekend as the car cannot be repaired in time. With McLaren’s withdrawal, only nine teams will participate in the race, marking the first time in the championship’s history that fewer than 10 teams compete in a round. The team’s focus will now shift to the final two rounds in Chile, aiming to end the season on a positive note.
