Gabriele Mini delivered a stunning late charge to snatch victory in the Formula 2 Feature Race at Miami International Autodrome, capitalizing on changing conditions during a hastily rescheduled event. The Italian driver executed a masterful final-stint performance to overtake race leader Dino Beganovic in the closing stages of what proved to be a thrilling wet-to-dry encounter at the Florida venue.
Beganovic, who appeared destined for victory after a strong drive in the challenging conditions, was forced to settle for second place after Mini’s late heroics. The Swede had controlled much of the proceedings but couldn’t hold off the charging Italian when it mattered most. Rafael Camara completed the podium in third position, though the Brazilian will rue a costly mistake that saw him run wide late in the race, dropping him from the lead and ultimately costing him a potential maiden F2 victory.
The race was further complicated by a Safety Car period that bunched up the field and set the stage for Mini’s dramatic late surge. The wet-dry conditions at Miami International Autodrome provided an additional layer of complexity, with drivers forced to navigate the challenging transition as the track dried throughout the event. The rescheduled nature of the race added another element of uncertainty to what became a memorable encounter in the 2026 Formula 2 championship.
Mini’s victory represents a significant breakthrough for the Italian, who demonstrated exceptional racecraft and tire management to time his attack perfectly. The result will provide valuable championship points as the F2 season continues to unfold, while Beganovic and Camara will look to bounce back from their respective disappointments in upcoming rounds.
