P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Leonardo Fornaroli has ascended to the illustrious ranks of F1 support category drivers to win consecutive F3 and F2 titles.
Leonardo Fornaroli clinched the F2 drivers’ championship at the Qatar Grand Prix, securing back-to-back titles following his F3 victory last season. He started from pole position in Lusail with a 23-point lead over Jak Crawford, extending his advantage with a second-place finish. This leaves him with an unassailable 41-point lead heading into Abu Dhabi. While Richard Verschoor, Luke Browning, and Alex Dunne were in contention, they couldn’t close the gap. Arvid Lindblad’s fourth-place finish is under investigation for a potential safety car violation. If he receives a penalty and Verschoor gains two extra points, he could snatch the title from Fornaroli. Despite having no F1 junior program affiliation, Fornaroli is eyeing a move to Super Formula next year.
