BAHRAIN, BAHRAIN - APRIL 13: Race winner Alexander Dunne of Ireland and Rodin Motorsport (17)

Alexander Dunne put in an impressive performance for Rodin Motorsport, winning from fourth on the grid and claiming his first F2 victory.

The McLaren Driver Development Programme talent moved up to second at the start and trailed polesitter Leonardo Fornaroli closely in the opening stages.

With DRS enabled, he slowly whittled down the gap to the Invicta Racing driver, taking the lead of the race with a pass into Turn 1 on Lap 7.

From there, he extended his lead and was comfortably ahead by the time the pitstop phase kicked off. He re-joined with the lead intact and measured out the performance of the Hard Pirelli tyres to the end of the race, winning by over eight seconds.

Luke Browning made the alternative strategy work in his favour, finishing second for Hitech TGR. The Williams Racing Development Driver made several crucial overtakes in the second half of the race and made his Soft tyres last to the end.

Fornaroli had started in P1 but slipped back down the order, though his defensive driving on the final lap kept Campos Racing’s Josep María Martí at bay. It earned him the final spot on the podium in third, and with it the lead of the Drivers’ Championship heading to Round 3 in Jeddah.
