Martins was in dominant form in the F2 feature race at the BritishGP, overcoming a five-second penalty to take victory in a race interrupted by three safety cars ⬇️
Racing resumed on lap 11, but the safety car was immediately redeployed after Stanek, Hauger and Vesti made contact on the restart.
Vesti was rear-ended by Hauger as the pack bunched up for the restart, with the Mercedes junior then clipping Stanek’s rear and forcing him into a spin. Vesti pitted and attempted to rejoin, but came to a stop at the pit exit with a terminal suspension issue. The safety car ended on lap 15, with Bearman running wide at Abbey and dropping to 10th, before losing further places as Fittipaldi suffered a similar fate.
The following tour, Martins was handed his penalty and was about to begin building a big enough gap to hold onto his maiden win when the safety car came out again as the Campos pair stopped on track.Maini had attempted a move on Bearman but miscalculated and hit Boschung, ending both drivers’ races, though they appeared to have made up as they walked off the track.
