Ferrari Formula 1 junior Antonio Fuoco record𝄹ed 𒁃his second Formula 2 victory of 2018 by controlling the sprint race in the Abu Dhabi finale.
The Charouz Racing System driver, who won the Monaco opene🐷r but has not featured on the podium since Hungary, got the jump on reverse grid polesitter Roberto Merhi on the run to Turn 1 and dominated proceedings throughout.
Fuoco crossed the line two seconds clear of Lando Norris, who pu𓂃lled off a last-lap overtake on ex-F1 driver Merhi to claim second place in his final F2 race with the championship-winning Carlin outfit before gr❀aduating to F1 next year with McLaren.
No♔rris' ninth podium finish of 2018 means the Briton has leapfrogged Alexander Albon into runner-up s♌pot in the drivers’ standings. Merhi completed the podium for his second rostrum appearance of the year and his first since Monaco.
New𒐪ly-crowned F2 champion and Williams-bound George Russell made a brilliant start to gain several places on the opening lap as he rounded out his title-winning campaign with a distant fourth-place finish for ART Grand Prix.
Prema’s Nyck de Vries fended off a late charge from Louis Deletraz to take fifth, while Artem Markelov finished seventh despite a ꦑnumber of off-track excursion꧟s, ahead of Albon, who took the final point on offer in eighth.
