Victor Martins Shines in Formula 2 Testing Finale

Victor Martins delivered a standout performance during the final day of Formula 2 post-season testing at Yas Marina, clocking a top lap of 1m35.773s. His impressive time narrowly edged out debutant Alex Dunne, who finished a mere 0.038 seconds behind. The morning session was marked by a flurry of fast laps from several drivers, including Dino Beganovic and Christian Mansell, indicating a highly competitive field as teams geared up for the upcoming season.

Martins led the morning session but was later surpassed in the afternoon by Campos Racing's Josep María Martí, who set the pace with a time of 1:37.351. Marti’s performance put him ahead of AIX Racing’s Nicolas Varrone and Dunne again, demonstrating the fluctuating dynamics of the testing day. Throughout the three days of testing, Martins, representing ART Grand Prix, emphasized the value of refining car setups and strategies they could not fully evaluate during the regular racing season. He recognized the importance of gathering data to bolster both team performance and his own driving confidence, ultimately deeming the testing experience as productive and beneficial.
