10 Beganovic carried the momentum into Le Castellet, where he further stretched it with a second‐place finish in Race 1. But after fighting with Minì in race 2, he suffered a hard blow as he was disqualified. From that point on, Beganovic had troubled runs in Zandvoort and Budapest, while Minì got a win, a third place, and three consecutive second places to fight back within 9 points from the lead. After six rounds, the two were starting almost from scratch again, but before the summer break, Beganovic put up another extremely positive weekend, taking home a win and a third place at Spa‐Francorchamps. At the end of race 1, Minì was disqualified for a technical infringement, just as happened to Beganovic in Le Castellet, while an ill‐fated qualifying forced him to fight back in race 2, which he did from P10 to P6. Beganovic thus restored his lead to 41 points, while Minì is hunted by Aron, who claimed four wins and as many pole positions. The racing has proved extremely balanced, with four teams having achieved at least one win, and six of them visited the rostrum. David won in Monaco and Budapest but lost out on another victory for overtaking with yellow flags at Spa‐ Francorchamps. The R‐Ace team celebrated anyway as it was Gabriel Bortoleto who was promoted to the win. The Brazilian secured his first win in the series after two third‐place finishes in Imola and Budapest. On the Hungarian track, Kas Haverkort also achieved a peremptory success for the Van Amersfoort team. The rookie class is featuring an exciting battle as well between Leonardo Fornaroli and Sebastian Montoya. The 17‐year‐old from Piacenza finished ten of the 14 races in the top‐10 and is leading the debuting Trident team, entering the series to parallel its Formula 2 and Formula 3 commitment. Second‐generation racer Montoya put up some brilliant performances, including two fourth places, and now trails his competitor, 15 points away.
