Gabriele Min\u00ec secured his first win in FIA Formula 2, making a penultimate lap overtake on Dino Beganovic for Feature Race victory in treacherous conditions at the Miami International Autodrome.<\/p>\n
The Italian started fourth on the grid but fell back in the early stages as drivers battled to keep out of trouble around what was initially a wet track.<\/p>\n
As others hit trouble, Min\u00ec bided his time and emerged after the pitstop phase within touching distance of race leader Rafael C\u00e2mara, with the track rapidly drying in the closing stages.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2mara\u2019s advantage was wiped out by a late Safety Car, one of several during the race for various incidents, including an opening lap, Turn 1 collision for Sprint winner Nikola Tsolov and an error by Alexander Dunne that put both out of the running.<\/p>\n
It meant a sprint to the finish as the race went to time rather than the originally scheduled 32 laps, with drivers fighting for grip on worn wet Pirelli tyres.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2mara, Beganovic and Min\u00ec were then locked in a back and forth fight that saw the lead change hands multiple times, as errors from the former duo meant that a patient Min\u00ec claimed P1 after a hard-fought battle.<\/p>\n
Behind the podium finishers, Noel Le\u00f3n secured fourth place ahead of polesitter Kush Maini, who rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n
Ritomo Miyata continued his good start to the season with points in sixth, ahead of Mari Boya, Colton Herta, Sebasti\u00e1n Montoya and Joshua Duersken completing the top 10.<\/p>\n
