The Formula 2 DAMS team had a rollercoaster weekend at Mugello…
Bumping into old friends in high places:
A solid P1 for new boy, Jüri Vips, and a P5 for Dan Ticktum in Free Practice Friday:
Ticktum pulls it out of the bag for the DAMS team in Qualifying:
The pendulum swings for Ticktum as his P3 is cruelly stolen.
However, Vips’s P7 finish in the Feature Race means a front row for the Formula 2 Sprint Race. Contrasting opinions from team and driver:
Who's ready for the Sprint Race? It's lights out in Mugello at 11:55 CET, with Jüri starting on the front row for the first time in his @FIA_F2 career.#F2 #AllezLesBleus #TuscanGP

And just when we thought we were waving goodbye to the reserve driver…
… it’s great news for Vips fans!
The Estonian will have another chance to shine in Sochi, as it’s been confirmed he will continue to drive the No1 DAMS car for the injured Sean Gelael.
We here at insideF2 are continuing to send our best wishes to you, Sean!
