F2: Marti storms through from 11th to win Sakhir Sprint Race

Josep Maria Marti made a final lap pass to take an incredible Sprint Race victory for Campos Racing, fighting through from 11th on the grid.
The Red Bull Junior Team driver battled with several drivers in the middle phase of the race, but a Safety Car closed the pack up for an unpredictable and enthralling final few minutes.

Three different drivers led at various points in the last five laps, but it was a dive into Turn 1 by Martí on Joshua Duerksen that proved to be the race-winning move, earning him his first win of 2025.
Richard Verschoor made a last lap overtake of his own as Duerksen ran slightly wide at Turn 11, opening the door for the MP Motorsport driver to claim second just a few corners from the chequered flag.
Duerksen had crossed the line in third position, but his car was found to have breached the Technical Regulations following the race and he was subsequently disqualified.
Dino Beganovic inherited the final podium position in third, narrowly ahead of a resurgent Oliver Goethe, who made it two MPs in the points positions.

Arvid Lindblad, Rafael Villagómez, Gabriele Minì and Leonardo Fornaroli completed the points-paying positions in fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth places.
