PREMA Racing scores top-10 finish in tough Sprint Race
The FIA Formula 2 Championship Sprint Race ended up with a top-10 finish for Dennis Hauger and PREMA Racing today at Spa-Francorchamps.
The Norwegian, who started from P11, made his way to the P10 early. During a mid-race safety-car situation, he and other competitors opted to make a pit-stop, but he could not go beyond P10, ending up in the same position he was before.
Unfortunately, a mechanical issue forced Jehan Daruvala to stop on the out lap to the grid and the Indian was prevented from taking the start from the front row.
#1 DENNIS HAUGER
“Tough race overall. I tried to give everything I had, but we were just lacking a bit of pace. We could hang on the prime but going to options, we were struggling. On one side, it was good to go to options to try to work on that for tomorrow, to do a good job and hopefully get some points.”

#2 JEHAN DARUVALA
“Not really a good day. The car stopped even before the race started, I think there was an issue with the fuel pump. I couldn’t make it around for the start, so it’s disappointing. I’m looking forward to tomorrow, I just want a good night of sleep, and I’ll do my best.”
