F2 Feature Race 1 Highlights | 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

29 laps coming up and all road in front row to the right of screen is Martinez Stenchorn to the left your pole sitter Alex Dunne and we are go for the first of two feature races and a good start from Alex Dunne gets over and defends his lead and a very good start in the white Campos for Noel Leon who's gone round the outside of Stenchorn but Stenchorn will fight back to hold on to that second place in towards Turn 2. It's also been a good as well who has come up to fourth place but so far so good for Alex Dunne. Noel Leon got away really nicely and Minding now under pressure from Maribor as they make their way down towards Turn 3. Alex Dunne has got away beautifully there we've got a yellow flag out no obvious car stopped in the background but is there somebody still left out there on the line we've got Yamakoshi denoted in the pit lane there so we'll see if someone if he hasn't got away well there could be some big swings in the championship in this one Alex Dunne in a very good opportunity to make big inroads on the championship leaders and that's what he got it he's got his eyes on in this race Stenchorn behind him then it's Leon in third place puffs of smoke coming out the back of Leon now they've called Nikola Solov in meanwhile when he's being followed in from Van Hoopen so the team's about to get to work in pit lane yeah so get him off that tyre and get him into some clear air out from behind Mining and see what he can do now so you've got a couple of cars in Van Hoopen and Trapovizac Villa Gomez, Dirksen, Fittipaldi and of course Solov are in the pit lane this is going to be one of the most critical pit stops of the year for Campos and it looks to have gone smoothly yeah needs to be away just okay Joshua Dirksen now in as well and we've got the Van Amersfoort of Villa Gomez also in Dirksen, Fittipaldi and a bit of a race coming down a pit lane Solov there has he dropped back a few places he has so Solov's just being held is he here no the rear of the car still up in the air so they didn't get one of the rear tyres on nicely for Nikola Solov and then he's had to go side by side out of the pit lane that's an absolute disaster for our championship leader this is what happened a little bit further around the circuit is this Alex Dunn playing fire with the wall it is this is a move on Noel Leon we got a car slowing that's Mari Boyer so uh is that a is that a technical issue is one of the tyres not gone on is one of the tyres not fully affixed for Mari Boyer but he's going to stop uh on the racetrack uh it's going to be required to stop on the racetrack if one of those tyres is not fitted properly and this could easily cause a safety car which would offer a great opportunity for to pit for several drivers we're watching leader Alex Dunn now coming in Rodin preparing to welcome him and likewise in Victor with camera dream ticket for Dunn and camera not only as Solov's pit stop gone badly he's under investigation for two separate offenses and has found himself unable to pit under the safety car having been a lap early yeah after the pit stop and after the safety car so we need to go forward understand the the most we can for tomorrow and try to do our best today okay head up please yeah it is what it is we are back underway here at Baku charging down towards the first corner in this first feature race and Alex Dunn's going to look to the outside straight away on Ollie Gertha behind we've got Biganovic going down the inside there of camera and that's a change of position of those who have stopped as well so net second now with Dino Biganovic and it's getting worse for camera Stenchorn also going through an ensured move and Leon looks like he's going to challenge on the exit as well camera just did not have the great performance as he went down to turn one they're battling in the background as well that's Miney and Bennett side by side Stenchorn now looking to the inside of Biganovic it's a road in one two all of a sudden oh and we've got an incident in the background a few cars going off there uh Dirksen involved we've got Bennett involved there Niklas Solov has also fallen down a couple of places too let's have a look see if we can work it out from here well there's a lot going on down there yeah i couldn't avoid the mess they crashed in front of me i'm stuck and my engine is cut off yeah sorry we try boy tomorrow i guess not your fault mate tomorrow we go again Niklas Solov absolute disaster for the championship leader had had that bad stop that put him down the order and now his race is over the red flag is out to the line we go and now it's foot to the floor there for Oli Gertha as feature race one is back underway here at Baku to the left of screen there it looks like Dunne is going to go for it around the outside and in the background as well the blue dams of Biganovic trying to go straight past Colten Hurta but Hurta managing to hold on around the outside will he be able to stay there through two it looks like Biganovic has done enough and another really good start there from the Swedish driver Stenchorn up the inside of camera down towards turn two and they're still side by side no it's Leon pouncing on him once more as they make their way down there cameras descending through the order yes he is you can see him now back behind Stenchorn almost contact there he almost ran straight into the back of Martinius Stenchorn now he's got Roman Belinsky he's going to try moving Stenchorn down the inside there of Colten Hurta trying to get past the American driver Biganovic now looking at a possible double win here as Stenchorn goes around the outside there of Colten Hurta so much control needed on the brake pedal little inside lock up Leon's followed him through and he's gonna have the inside line on camera as they make their way into turn seven let's have a look back at this move Alex yeah position he lost at the restart gets a big old toe down the front straight can hit the car hitting the floor on the way down there and will this be now enough to go into the lead of the race Alex Dunne to the outside and may complete this before the braking zone and has done just needs to get it stopped now before the apex and that is the race lead for road and motorsports Alex Dunne who's starting to become a serious championship contender this weekend Goethe there just now having to defend from Stenchorn big lock up there from Goethe and it looks like they're all going to go sailing through through go Stenchorn Biganovic and Leon camera now sitting right behind no Leon then watching for the massive lock up there that's from Ronnie Goethe smoke screen from behind and actually there was a little bit of a touch wasn't there what a drive it has been from Alex Dunne and he is now within touching distance of taking this championship lead and gets his first win of the season heading up to the line feature race one goes to the road and motorsport driver Alex Dunne leading home his teammate Martinez Stenchorn and he is right within distance to take the lead of the championship tomorrow who's going to get fourth place rapid camera up to the line drag races past no Leon and that is going to be the championship lead for Rafa camera right at the line that is outstanding racing to the line for Rafa camera what will that mean for him in terms of the championship but what a drive from Alex Dunne he's had so much pace this weekend he's picked that machine up by the scruff of the neck and made the difference fantastic drive finally a first win of the season coming at a very good time Alex Dunne wins the first feature race of the weekend the Alpine Junior putting in a great performance there's his father he's very proud of him what he's seen just gathering the momentum he's been on the podium so many times this season he's been a real regular visitor to it but hadn't quite got that break to get him on to the top step of the podium Dunne takes the win ahead of his teammates Stenchorn and Boganovich camera Leon many crucial points for him in sixth then Belinsky Villa Gomez first points for Yamakoshi now three podium finishes in a row for Alex Dunne which is where this charge is coming from we have less than 10 points between the top three in the championship in camera Solov and Dunne he's had to wait a while since the Imola feature race last season but the Irishman back on the top
