MONZA: India's Jehan Daruvala of Carlin Racing put on a controlled performance in the second F2 Sprint Race at Monza to claim his first victory of the season, ahead of Trident rookie Bent Viscaal and PREMA Racings Robert Shwartzman, who took his fourth podium of the year. Daruvala crossed the line 6.1s in front of Viscaal, who scored a maiden Formula 2 podium, according to information reaching here. Shwartzman was a late entrant into the top three after reverse polesitter David Beckmann locked up late in the race and fell from second to fifth, behind Liam Lawson.
Championship rivals Oscar Piastri and Guanyu Zhou finished one behind the other in seventh and eighth, while Hitech Grand 'rix's Jüri Vips was ahead of them in sixth.
Lining up from pole for the second race in succession, Beckmann endured an almost identical start, but this time it was the Carlin of Daruvala who got the jump on him, launching off the line and down the inside into Turn 1 to take first.
After a great getaway, Viscaal was up one place to third, ahead of Vips, but Sprint Race 1 hero Christian Lundgaard had been spun around and dumped at the back of the field. IANS
