In the high-stakes closing stages of the race, the Invicta Racing driver demonstrated remarkable tenacity. After initially trailing, they managed to close back in on Martins and secure second place. However, despite their best efforts, they couldn't quite catch the race winner Duerksen before the final lap.

Martins' Podium Slip and Verschoor's Late Charge

On the very last lap, Martins unfortunately slipped off the podium. This opened up an opportunity for Richard Verschoor of MP Motorsport, who made the most of an alternative strategy. The Dutch driver started on Medium Pirelli tyres and executed a late mandatory stop, switching to Supersofts. His superior lap times per lap paid off as he caught up with Martins on the penultimate lap. The ART driver made a crucial mistake at the final corner, running wide and allowing Verschoor to make a decisive move through Turn 1 and claim third place on the podium.

Verschoor's Strategy and Execution

Verschoor's decision to switch to Supersoft tyres proved to be a masterstroke. His ability to manage the tyres and make the most of the track conditions gave him a significant advantage. He showed exceptional driving skills and composure throughout the race, capitalizing on every opportunity that came his way. His late charge was a testament to his determination and skill, securing a well-deserved third-place finish.

Invicta Racing's Double Triumph

Alongside Bortoleto's Drivers' title success, Invicta Racing achieved a remarkable feat by securing the Teams' title. This was a culmination of their hard work and strategic planning throughout the season. The result was a complete sweep for Invicta in 2024, a testament to their dominance on the track. Their performance in the closing stages of the F2 finale was a fitting end to an outstanding season.For an in-depth report of the F2 finale at Yas Marina, head to the official website here.
