Formula 2: Frenchman Isack Hadjar wins his first race of the year in Australia

Frenchman Isack Hadjar (Campos Racing) won his first victory of the season in Formula 2 in Australia on Sunday, after the main race on the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.

This victory comes the day after his disillusionment in the sprint race - shorter than the main race - which he won before dropping to 6th place due to a penalty.

The 19-year-old driver was found guilty of a collision when the lights went out and received a ten-second penalty for this.

“I crossed the finish line twice as winner,” the winner savored on Sunday. “It’s incredible after yesterday’s disappointment (Saturday, editor’s note).”

Eighth on the grid on Sunday, the Red Bull youth driver was lucky by making his mandatory stop at the right time, when the virtual safety car regime was deployed, after poleman Dennis Hauger left the track. The Norwegian's accident then led to the intervention of the safety car.

Hajdar, who is starting his second season in F2 this year, won ahead of Estonian Paul Aron (Hitech) and Barbadian Zane Maloney (Rodin Motorpsort).

Andrea Kimi Antonelli finished 4th for his first season in the antechamber of F1. The Italian, Mercedes protégé, is one of the names mentioned to replace British star Lewis Hamilton, expected at Ferrari in 2025, in the ranks of the Mercedes team.

Oliver Bearman, who on March 9 at 18 years, 10 months and 1 day became the third youngest driver in history to participate in an F1 Grand Prix after Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll, finished 10th.

During the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the Briton replaced at short notice the Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who had undergone appendicitis, in the Ferrari seat. He finished in an impressive seventh place.

The other Frenchman entered in F2, Victor Martins (Art GP), finished ninth after starting from a distant 21st place.

The championship continues from May 17 to 19 in Imola, Italy, 4th round of 14 this season.
