Nikola Tsolov Survives Late-Race Chaos to Win Miami F2 Sprint Race

Formula NXT | F2 Sprint Recap

Nikola Tsolov delivered a statement performance in Miami after surviving a frantic final-lap battle to claim victory in the Formula 2 Sprint Race for Campos Racing.

The Red Bull Junior driver managed intense pressure throughout the closing stages as Laurens van Hoepen and Alex Dunne rapidly closed the gap during a chaotic run to the finish. Despite multiple safety car interruptions and tire degradation becoming a major factor late in the race, Tsolov held his composure to secure one of the biggest victories of his Formula 2 career so far.

The Miami Sprint Race once again highlighted just how unpredictable Formula 2 can become under pressure. Aggressive overtakes, narrow margins, and constant strategy changes created nonstop action throughout the field as several championship contenders struggled to maintain consistency.

For Campos Racing, the victory marks another major step forward in what has been an increasingly competitive season for the team. Tsolov’s pace all weekend immediately positioned him as one of the strongest championship threats heading deeper into the 2026 calendar.

Meanwhile, Alex Dunne continued building momentum with another aggressive drive through the field, while Laurens van Hoepen delivered one of his strongest performances of the season in difficult conditions.
