Rafael Câmara made history in Monaco by securing his maiden pole position in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. The Invicta Racing rookie delivered an impressive performance during Friday’s qualifying session, setting a fastest lap of 1:20.923 in Group A to claim the top spot for Sunday’s Feature Race.
It was far from a straightforward session for the Brazilian. Câmara initially made contact with the barriers at the final corner, damaging his car’s rear suspension and forcing him back into the pit lane. However, following repairs and a red-flag interruption, he managed to return to the track and produce a remarkable lap.
Câmara finished 0.110 seconds ahead of Alexander Dunne, who secured second place in Group A. Nikola Tsolov topped Group B with a 1:21.053, earning a place alongside the Brazilian on the front row for Sunday’s Feature Race.
A memorable milestone for Câmara, who celebrated his first-ever Formula 2 pole position on one of the championship’s most iconic circuits.
