Red Bull junior Jak Crawford recovered from a poor start to claim his maiden F2 win in a mixed-weather Austria sprint race. Full report and results:
The Hitech driver started on slick tyres despite a damp track, slipping back off the line as those on wet tyres profited.
Despite wet conditions, the field lined up for a standing start on a mix of wet and slick tyres, with Crawford and Jehan Daruvala opting for slicks with third-place starter Arthur Leclerc on the wets for DAMS. Jack Doohan took a trip into the gravel at Turn 4 in his Virtuosi-run car before the safety car was deployed as Daruvala did the same at Turn 7, becoming beached.
This left Leclerc to lead before the Monegasque driver and team-mate Ayumu Iwasa both pitted, handing the front spot back to Crawford, who led from Juan Manuel Correa and Rodin Carlin driver Zane Maloney. Martins took second from Correa the following tour, using DRS to pass up the inside of Turn 3, though Crawford was still two seconds clear at the front.
