Kush Maini has become the first Indian to win an F2 race at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Maini started the Sprint Race from pole position after qualifying 10th for the Feature Race. Leading from the front, he took the chequered flag 3.7 seconds ahead of fellow Alpine academy driver Gabriele Mini. Luke Browning of the Hitech TGR team finished third.
This is Maini’s first win with his new team, Dams. “Obviously this is the Sprint Race, we all want to win the Feature, but it’s still a win in Monaco,” Maini said.
The Indian racer still has a long way to go. With a victory in the Monaco sprint, Maini moves up to P13 in the championship. He is still 54 points behind the leader, Alexander Dunne.
