Ireland's Alex Dunne surged to another brilliant FIA Formula 2 victory on Sunday, timing his move to perfection to win at Imola for Rodin Motorsport.

Dunne is the first Irish driver to compete in the F2 having secured a 2025 drive with the Rodin team.

In April, the Offaly man claimed his first grand prix victory in F2 when he won in Bahrain.

He followed that up with a third-placed finish in Saudi Arabia, and has now further strenghthened his position in the championship with a second race win of the campaign.

He started fifth on the grid but bided his time before overtaking AIX Racing's Joshua Durksen on lap 27 to take a lead he would not relinquish.

Luke Browning (Hitech TGR) was second, with Dino Beganovic (Hitech TGR) third.

It leaves Dunne top of the standings on 64 points after four rounds ahead of Browing (58 points) and Richard Verschoor (MP Motorsport, 55 points). The next race takes place in Monte Carlo from 22 to 25 May.

Earlier this month Dunne - part of the McLaren F1 driver development programme - was chosen to test a McLaren Formula One car at the Zandvoort seaside circuit in the Netherlands.
