Gabriele Minì retained the lead of the 2026 FIA Formula 2 Drivers’ Championship after the F2 Feature Race at the Monaco GP, but Nikola Tsolov reduced the gap at the top to just one point with victory in Monte Carlo.
Tsolov converted Campos Racing’s strong Monaco weekend into a major championship gain, taking his second Feature Race win of the season after Rafael Câmara’s late race ended in the Sainte Dévote run-off area. Alexander Dunne finished second for Rodin Motorsport, while DAMS Lucas Oil’s Dino Beganovic completed the podium after passing Kush Maini on the final lap.
The result also strengthened Campos Racing’s position in the Teams’ Championship. The Spanish team now leads with 107 points, 11 clear of Rodin Motorsport, while MP Motorsport drops to third after a scoreless Feature Race for Minì and Oliver Goethe.
Minì keeps the lead as Tsolov closes in
Minì left Monaco still at the top of the Drivers’ Championship, but his advantage has narrowed significantly. The MP Motorsport driver entered the Feature Race with 63 points after finishing third in Saturday’s Sprint Race. However, he failed to score in the Feature Race after a slow pit stop dropped him into traffic and left him outside the top ten. As a result, he remains on 63 points.
Tsolov, meanwhile, made the most of his opportunity. The Campos Racing driver started second, stayed close to polesitter Câmara during the opening phase, and took the lead after the Invicta Racing driver struggled for grip after his pit stop and went straight on at Sainte Dévote. Tsolov then crossed the line to secure victory, adding 26 points to move to 62 overall.
The gap between Minì and Tsolov now stands at just one point.
Rodin pair move into third and fourth
Rodin Motorsport also made a major gain in the Drivers’ Championship. Dunne finished second in the Feature Race and climbed to fourth in the standings on 48 points. His teammate Stenshorne finished fifth in the race and also moved to 48 points, although he remains ahead of Dunne in third overall.
That result gives Rodin two drivers inside the top four of the championship. It also moves the team much closer to Campos Racing in the Teams’ Championship after both Dunne and Stenshorne scored heavily in the Feature Race.
Behind them, León remains fifth in the Drivers’ Championship. The Campos Racing driver followed his Sprint Race victory with ninth in the Feature Race, moving to 45 points.
Beganovic climbs after late podium pass
Beganovic produced one of the key results of the Feature Race by taking third place on the final lap. The DAMS Lucas Oil driver had been running behind Maini late on, but used stronger grip out of the tunnel to attack through the chicane and claim the final podium place. The move gave him 15 points and lifted him to sixth in the Drivers’ Championship on 43 points.
That result completed a strong Monaco weekend for DAMS. Roman Bilinski finished second in the Sprint Race and then added another point in the Feature Race, moving to 11 points overall.
Câmara loses ground after retirement
Câmara had looked set to make a major championship gain after starting from pole and leading the early stages of the Feature Race.
The Invicta Racing driver controlled the opening phase and held the lead ahead of Tsolov. However, after stopping one lap later than the Campos driver, Câmara struggled to bring his tyres up to temperature. As Tsolov attacked into Sainte Dévote, Câmara locked up, went straight on and retired from the race.
The retirement left him seventh in the Drivers’ Championship on 37 points. It also meant Invicta Racing failed to add to its Teams’ Championship total, staying fourth on 58 points.
Maini, Miyata and Montoya add points
Maini finished fourth after losing the podium to Beganovic on the final lap, but the result still moved him into the top ten of the Drivers’ Championship. The ART Grand Prix driver now sits 10th on 28 points.
Miyata finished sixth and climbed to ninth overall on 30 points, while Emerson Fittipaldi took seventh and moved onto 10 points. Montoya finished eighth, adding four points to move to 20 overall.
León and Bilinski completed the points finishers in ninth and 10th respectively.

Monaco closes up the title fight
The Monaco GP Feature Race changed the shape of the early 2026 F2 title fight.
Minì remains the championship leader, but Tsolov’s victory has reduced his margin to a single point. Behind them, Rodin Motorsport now has Stenshorne and Dunne level on points in third and fourth, while León and Beganovic remain within reach after strong weekends of their own.
Campos Racing also leaves Monaco with control of the Teams’ Championship, but Rodin Motorsport’s double score keeps the pressure on. MP Motorsport, meanwhile, still has the Drivers’ Championship leader, but it now trails two teams in the team battle.
The championship resumes in Barcelona, where Round 5 will take place from 12–14 June.
