For Kimi Antonelli, he was competing on the streets of Monaco for the first time in F2. It was Round 5 of his 2024 season and he showed good progress across the weekend.
In his first Qualifying session in the principality, he was fourth quickest in his group (they split the session into two groups) and that meant a P7 starting position for Sunday’s main Feature Race.
In the Sprint on Saturday, he finished fourth, equalling his best finishing position of the season so far (from the Australia Feature and the Imola Feature).
On Sunday, he scored the fastest lap of the race and crossed the line in P7, having lost out in the pit stop phase. Nevertheless, he scored solid points on his first time racing in Monaco.
“The car performed great during the Feature Race, it is a shame we got stuck in traffic,” said Kimi.
“I finished in P7 and that is important for the championship,” he added.
Kimi heads to Barcelona in two weeks’ time having retained his P6 position in the standings.
