Alex Dunne Wins Belgian F2 Race, Takes Points Lead

Irish driver Alex Dunne secured pole position and then won the rain-affected Formula 2 feature race at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, extending his lead in the championship to 15 points over Richard Verschoor, who failed to score. Dunne, a McLaren junior and Rodin Motorsport racer, now has three F2 wins this season, with previous victories in Bahrain and Imola. The 19-year-old's rise has been highlighted by his participation as the first Irish driver in 22 years to take part in an official Formula 1 session during Austrian GP practice. British Red Bull Junior Arvid Lindblad finished second in the feature race and Roman Stanek took third. Dunne's strong performance at Spa, including topping practice and qualifying, has significantly boosted his title hopes. Key rivals Verschoor and Jak Crawford both failed to score points in Belgium.
