PIASTRI ON TOP IN FIA FORMULA 2

PREMA Racing wrapped up an extremely positive weekend at Baku in June with a double podium finish in the FIA Formula 2 Championship feature race at the Azerbaijani venue. Starting from P3, Oscar Piastri posted a brilliant second place.

The Australian maximized his position in the early stages of the race with some razor-sharp moves and stayed clear of the many incidents and mishaps that happened out front. Despite suffering from a 5-second unsafe release penalty after his pitstop, his pace was fast enough to retain P2 and end up right behind the eventual race winner.

“P2 in the feature race, I’m happy with that,” commented Piastri. “I think we didn’t quite have the pace to match Juri (vips) today, but we got good points, another trophy. We have been a bit lucky with the 5-second penalty, not doing anything in the end. I think the pace was strong, another solid weekend in terms of what we could control. I’m happy with how it went and now we will enjoy the break before Silverstone.” Russian teammate Robert Shwartzman finished behind him and delivered a great recovery from 10th place on the grid, setting a strong and consistent pace that secured him his second podium finish of the weekend following yesterday’s race 1 win. Shwartzman is now back in full contention for the driver championship lead, sitting third behind Piastri. The combination of their efforts made sure for PREMA Racing to reclaim the lead of the team championship, while Piastri sits second overall on the drivers points table. The series now goes for a break before getting back for round 4 at Silverstone.
