Joshua Durksen Makes History with F2 Sprint Victory in Baku
Durksen's Historic Win at Baku
At 12:15 PM local time, the FIA F2 sprint race kicked off at the Baku City Circuit. Although Richard Verschoor grabbed pole position, he started from tenth due to reversed grid rules. New teammate Christian Mansell, making his F2 debut, began the race from pole.
While Mansell maintained an impressive lead, it was Durksen who demonstrated exceptional speed, quickly moving past competitors during the opening laps.
Key Moments of the Race
- Durksen capitalizes on a safety car period to surge ahead.
- Miyata's crash caused a brief halt, after which Durksen skillfully managed the pace.
- Durksen notched his place in history as the first Paraguayan to win an F2 race.
The victory not only solidifies Durksen's position in the series but also signals his potential for future success.
