Total chaos at the start of the Formula 2 race in Monaco: disaster involving Dunne and Martins at Saint Devote, Fornaroli takes advantage
Jak Crawford won, but the Monaco Formula 2 race told a much, much bigger story. A total mess at the start impacted the entire race: Dunne and Martins collided after a huge mistake by the Irish driver, causing chaos for the 20 drivers behind them.
A total of 10 drivers were involved in the incident, and 7 of them retired: among them were former championship leader Alexander Dunne and Sicilian driver Gabriele Minì. Victor Martins was clearly the most disappointed, having thrown away a front-row start and a strong getaway that could have put him in the lead.
