Dunne among seven drivers eliminated after Monaco crash
Jak Crawford secured his second win of the Formula 2 season after a crash eliminated seven drivers from the feature race in Monaco on Sunday. Polesitter Alex Dunne and Victor Martins were involved in a first-lap collision that resulted in a red flag with several cars stuck behind the incident at the opening corner. The crash occurred after ART Grand Prix driver Martins attempted to overtake Dunne's Rodin Motorsport car coming into the first corner, with the ensuing contact resulting in Dunne pinning Martins' vehicle to the barrier. In addition to Irishman Dunne and France's Martins, Richard Verschoor, Gabriele Mini, Ritomo Miyata, Josep Maria Marti and Max Esterson were all removed from the race following the incident. Following a 50-minute delay, a crash later in the race involving Dino Beganovic at Casino Square resulted in a second red flag. At the end of a chaotic and disrupted race, DAMS Lucas Oil driver Crawford followed up last week's sprint win at Imola. "Oh my gosh. That was the race of my dreams," said 20-year-old American Crawford. "Avoiding the crash at the start was just the first bit. Around the safety car and trying to get into the pit. "Oh my god! It was the craziest thing ever. I'm so lucky, the pace was good too. It was an incredible day." Leonardo Fornaroli finished second, but while Arvid Lindblad crossed in third, his five-second time penalty Sebastian promoted Montoya to the podium. Luke Browning, who finished fourth ahead of Lindblad, moves top of the championship standings on 70 points, three clear of Dunne who led entering Sunday's race. The Formula 2 season continues with the sixth round in Barcelona next week.
