Andrea Kimi Antonelli

Kimi started the Feature Race in P2 and took the lead at the beginning, but once he made the pitstop, he started to struggle with tire degradation and wasn't able to keep up with the pace of the front runners anymore. Overall, it was a pretty difficult race, but at least we got 12 points in the bag since we ended up with none in the sprint race.

Antonelli started the Sprint Race in 9th and climbed up to P4. While fighting for P3, he lost the car in T12 and ended up in the gravel, which ended his chances of getting the last spot on the podium.

Antonelli kicked off from P5 and really focused on managing those option tyres early on. Decided to pit early, which kinda backfired when the safety car played into others' hands. Still, he pushed the Prime tyres hard towards the end and grabbed that P6, making it his third straight points finish. Kimi felt some understeer which slowed him down a bit, and yeah, that safety car move wasn't in our favor either. It's all part of the game, and we've definitely made progress since Bahrain. Looking forward to seeing how we stack up in Melbourne!

Antonelli's Sprint Race was fraught with challenges from the outset. A clutch issue triggered the car's anti-stall mechanism at the start, causing him to lose several positions. Compounding his woes, a collision in the first corner damaged his front wing. Despite these setbacks, Antonelli showcased his resilience and racing skills by climbing from P12 to finish P7, demonstrating a consistent pace throughout the race.

Antonelli gets his first point in Formula 2!!! Kimi started the Feature Race in P18 and, with the Prime compound, had an excellent pace climbing up to P10, but once we pitted for Option tires, we struggled more than expected; even with that, we were able to manage the race to keep P10 until the end of the race and get our first point in Formula 2 in the first race weekend. The most important thing is that we need to look into the Option tire compound and understand why we aren't as strong with it versus the Prime compound.

Kimi finished the Sprint Race in P14 after starting P18 and doing a pitstop to testing different tyre compounds. The first race for Antonelli in Formula 2, even without points, it was a good learning experience for the Feature Race on Saturday.

Andrea Antonelli gets to drive the Formula 2 car around the Bahrein International Circuit for the first time to gather as much data as possible to be analyzed and make the necessary improvements before the season starts on February 28th.
