Duerksen Completes Historic Monza Sweep with F2 Feature Race Win

Joshua Duerksen delivered a masterclass in race craft to complete a historic Formula 2 weekend sweep at the Italian GP. The Invicta Racing driver prevailed in a tense, strategic duel against teammate Rafael Camara.

Starting alongside pole-sitter Camara on an all-Invicta front row, the Paraguayan navigated multi-car battles, team order dynamics, and two Safety Car restarts before withstanding late pressure to cross the line first.

Start Drama and Team Orders That Reshaped the Race

Duerksen pounced immediately at the start, taking the lead from Camara after the pole-sitter ran wide into Turn 1. However, Camara fought back with a bold move on Lap 4, prompting Invicta to radio Duerksen with instructions to work together.

Duerksen moved back past his teammate to reclaim the lead, creating a clean one-two formation out front. But a heavy lock-up and an early pit stop call became the crucial turning point that determined the final result.

Championship Battle Heats Up After Camara's Incident

The title fight took a dramatic twist when Camara spun and stalled early on, bringing out the first Safety Car. This opened the door for Nikola Tsolov, who fought his way up to fifth place to gain a crucial advantage in the standings.

The victory completes Duerksen's perfect weekend at Monza, following his Sprint Race win with a bold move on John Bennett. His consistency and composure under pressure prove his maturity on the international stage.
