IN FORM ILOTT TAKES POLE

Callum Ilott took his third pole of the 2020 F2 season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, seeing off Robert Shwartzman and Guanyu Zhou to take four extra points towards his title campaign.

Behind them, Felipe Drugovich shone for MP in P4, whilst Dan Ticktum topped practice, but was unable to capitalise on this, and will start from P8 tomorrow.

Artem Markelov will start from a season’s best P11 for the struggling HWA team, whilst ART are nowhere, Christian Lundgaard down in P14 and Marcus Armstrong P19.

Roy Nissany, fresh from an FP1 stint with Williams, finished the session in P15, whilst Luca Ghiotto was a shocking P20.

The session started with Nikita Mazepin initially going quickest, but ART’s woeful pace was highlighted by the fact his time was beaten almost immediately by both Trident’s.

Drugovich then went quickest, only to be beaten by Shwartzman, who went P1, Ilott in P2 and Jack Aitken in P3.

Mick Schumacher was the only car who could improve after a cool down lap on the first set of tyres, meaning he was in P3 as the cars returned to the pit lane for fresh rubber.

Guanyu Zhou was the only man to run in the gap, but he narrowly missed out on taking provisional pole by 0.014s.

The third run saw deja vu from F3 with Ilott riding and bouncing over the kerbs, as he stormed to pole with a stunning lap, half a second quicker than anyone else.

Behind Ilott, Drugovich went P2, only to be beaten by Shwartzman yet again, the Russian clearly back on form after struggling at Silverstone

Zhou was the last car to run, again with plenty of space as all the other cars headed back to the pit lane, he went fastest in sector one, and narrowly behind in sector two, but a mistake in sector three on the exit of the Europcar corner saw him end up two tenths behind his teammate and down in P3.

ILOTT WINS AS TICKTUM HAS A TANTRUM

It was sweet, sweet redemption for Callum Ilott, as he won the F2 Feature Race and took the Championship lead, as fellow Brit Jack Aikten returned to the podium and Dan Ticktum chucked his toys out of the DAMS after the pit stops.

Ilott was never challenged as he dominated the race on his way to the chequered flag, narrowly missing out on taking the extra points for fastest lap as Robert Shwartzman finally relinquished the championship lead.

Dan Ticktum could well end up in more trouble after the race, having been shown the black and white flag, and releasing a sweary and threatening radio message aimed at another driver which you can read below.

The race started with Pedro Piquet stalling on the grid, as Christian Lundgaard fell back from P2 to P4 on the way into Abbey, however he immediately got back past Aitken at The Loop to slot into P3 as they ran down the Wellington Straight.

Guilherme Samaia ran off at the back of the field into the gravel at Luffield but was able to continue, whilst Nikita Mazepin fought past his team mate into Stowe and Louis Deletraz also got Luca Ghiotto around the outside of the Vale chicane for P6 and P7 respectively.

Lap three then saw Ticktum go off through the grass at Chapel as he tried to hold on to P2, but that allowed Lundgaard through initially, and then Aitken too going down the Hangar Straight.

Ticktum’s afternoon never recovered after that moment and two laps later Mick Schumacher was also through for P4 on the outside of Brooklands, whilst Mazepin took P5 from him after running side-by-side through Copse, Maggots and Becketts.

Luca Ghiotto then dropped back down the order after a slow pit stop saw him re-emerge from the pit lane down in P20.

Ilott made his only pit stop on lap eight, handing Schumacher the lead as he was chased by Mazepin, but the Russian was unable to find a way past before their pit stops.

Deletraz then passed Ticktum after the stops, initially trying round the outside of Ticktum and a HWA that hadn’t pitted into Stowe, and then finding a way past at his favourtie spot - on the outside of the Vale chicane.

Ticktum then shouted down the radio: “Next time that **** pulls a kamikaze move like that I’ll f****** crash with him! I’ll tell you that, I’ll never give him that much respect ever again”-  the frustrations of the afternoon clearly taking their toll.

A few laps later he also fell behind old F3 rival Schumacher in the middle of Becketts, and the other Prema of Shwartzman  also passed him on the outside of Stowe for P8.

One lap later and Mazepin forced his way past Schumacher for P6 down the Hangar Straight, having to dip to wheels onto the grass in order to do so.

The final laps saw Ticktum tumble out of the points as he asked his engineer to stop talking to him on the radio, whilst Lundgaard went off at Brooklands, but was able to continue without any drama.

Mazepin starred again as he took P5 from Tsunoda with four laps to go, before stealing P4 away from Deletraz on the final lap, as his confidence continues to grow since his maiden podium in Hungary.
