Varrone out for redemption after chaotic debut in Duerksen’s Australia win | OneFootball

The Australian Formula 2 Grand Prix left mixed feelings for the South American drivers. While Paraguayan Joshua Duerksen (Invicta Racing) confirmed his great form with a resounding victory, Argentine Nicolás Varrone (Van Amersfoort) paid dearly for a rookie mistake in his first official appearance in the category.

Varrone's Sunday

Starting from the 19th position, the Buenos Aires native had a hopeful start by gaining two places in the first few meters. However, the hope quickly faded after he spun in the final corners of the initial lap, leaving him detached from the pack. He eventually crossed the finish line in 21st place.

Duerksen, from less to more

Meanwhile, Duerksen started second and, after a somewhat hesitant start, regained the lead of the race before completing the first lap. From there, he dominated authoritatively against the pressure from Mexican Noel León and Irishman Alex Dunne, who completed the podium.

The drivers who scored points in the Sprint:

Varrone will have an immediate chance for redemption tonight in the Main Race, which will start at 9:25 PM (Argentine time), with the goal of reversing the result and gaining his first clean kilometers on the demanding Albert Park circuit.
