Tsolov Edges Out Rivals to Win Albert Park F2 Race 2

Nikita Tsolov delivered victory for Campos Racing in the second FIA Formula 2 race at Albert Park, completing 33 laps in a time of 56 minutes 5.248 seconds.

Season opener draws attention to local track

The result at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit comes as Albert Park continues its long role hosting international motorsport events that bring visitors and attention to the suburb each year. Residents near the lake and surrounding roads often see temporary grandstands and barriers erected for these weekends, turning familiar streets into a temporary racing venue.

The race unfolded with several position changes and three retirements, including early exits for two Rodin Motorsport cars after a collision on lap two. Tsolov maintained the lead to the finish while fending off pressure from the cars immediately behind him on the final laps.

Full classification shows tight margins through the field

Richard Câmara finished second for Invicta Racing, 1.669 seconds behind Tsolov. Laurens Van Hoepen took third place for Trident, 3.517 seconds off the winner, and collected the bonus point for fastest lap. Oliver Goethe placed fourth for MP Motorsport, followed by Ritomo Miyata in fifth for HitechGP. The top ten also included Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak, Colton Herta, Gabriele Minì, Sebastián Montoya and Johnathan Duerksen. Further back, 18 drivers were classified after completing the full distance, with three retirements recorded.

These standings appear on the official results page published by motorsport.com for the Albert Park round. The gaps between many cars stayed under two seconds in several cases, reflecting close racing on the 5.303-kilometre layout.

Teams will now prepare for the next round listed on the calendar at the Miami circuit. Local fans in Albert Park can follow updates through the same motorsport.com results service as the season progresses.
