F2: Fornaroli takes home victory in Monza Sprint Race

Leonardo Fornaroli picked up from where he left off prior to the summer break, earning his fourth race victory of the 2025 Formula 2 season.

The Invicta Racing driver went on the offensive early on in the race, battling past Sami Meguetounif in the opening exchanges before closing down and pressuring Dino Beganovic for the lead.

Eventually, the Italian was able to clear the Hitech TGR driver for P1, and he was able to hold off a charging Arvid Lindblad for what was win number four of the campaign, and a satisfying one on home soil.

With his win, he extended his advantage at the top of the Drivers’ Championship heading into Sunday’s Feature Race.

Lindblad had to settle for second despite keeping up with Fornaroli to the chequered flag, while Joshua Duerksen inherited third place after Beganovic was hit with a five-second time penalty for a Virtual Safety Car rules breach.

It promoted Richard Verschoor and Roman Stanek up one position each to fourth and fifth place, with the former carving his way through the pack having started from P14.

Beganovic was followed by another home hero in Gabriele Minì, who finished seventh, while Feature Race pole sitter Luke Browning closed out the points places in P8.
