New Toyota WEC junior Ritomo Miyata claims his second win of the 2023 Super Formula season to grab the points lead from Red Bull's Liam Lawson. Full Sugo race report and results: sformula
TOM’S driver Ritomo Miyata scored his second victory of the 2023 Super Formula season at Sugo to snatch the championship lead from Red Bull junior Liam Lawson.Starting on the front row of the grid, Miyata passed polesitter and early leader Toshiki Oyu on lap 13 of 51 and then enjoyed a relatively straightforward run to the finish, claiming a dominant 22-second win.
Further back, Miyata’s team-mate Giuliano Alesi lost control of his car by his own into Turn 5, leaving an innocent Yuhi Sekiguchi with a broken front wing. But as the laps wore on, it became clear that Oyu was struggling for performances, giving Miyata a sniff of the victory. This would set up a two-way fight between Miyata and Tsuboi for the lead, with Miyata pitting on lap 17 and Tsuboi staying out on track for longer in the ostensible hope of a safety car.
From there on, Miyata was untroubled up front as he claimed a second win of 2023 in three races, strengthening his bid for the title.
