Dennis Hauger claimed his first F2 win of 2023 in Melbourne after surviving a mid-race safety car in mixed weather conditions. Full report and results:
The MP Motorsport driver led from lights-to-flag to secure his third series victory but his first since moving to the reigning championship-winning team for 2023.
Fittipaldi spun at Turn 9, crashing into the barrier, before Boschung had a similar fate, albeit stalling rather than making contact, with both drivers unable to start the race. Turn 9 saw several tussles, with Crawford attempting to take the lead before backing out while Leclerc made it back past Bearman and Martins took advantage to sweep into fifth.
The Monegasque driver took his chance three laps later, making it past the Campos driver at Turn 10, but Maini got back past the following corner to hold his podium position. The Van Amersfoort Racing driver, who returned to F2 this season, was handed a 10-second penalty for the incident. The safety car ended on the penultimate lap, with Correa making it past 2022 runner-up Pourchaire for 12th on the restart.
