Adjusted 2026 F2 Standings After Spielberg Feature Race Penalty
Nikola Tsolov continues to close the gap on Gabriele Mini in the 2026 F2 title fight, moving to within two points after his fourth win of the year in the Spielberg feature race. Mini limited the damage with runner-up honors, but the margin at the top is now razor-thin. Further down the order, a post-race penalty for Martinius Stenshorne cost the Norwegian his scored points, jumbling the midfield standings.
Why it matters:
With Tsolov and Mini separated by just two points, the championship is becoming a genuine two-horse race that could swing either way in the coming rounds. Campos Racing stretched its teams' championship lead to 32 points after a dominant weekend, while MP Motorsport's double podium pushed it past Rodin Motorsport into second place. Stenshorne's penalty dented his personal tally and played a part in Rodin's constructors' slide.
The details:
- Title Tightens: Gabriele Mini leads with 108 points, but Nikola Tsolov sits just two points adrift at 106 after winning the feature race at the Red Bull Ring.
- Podium Movers: Rafael Camara climbed to third in the standings with a strong Austrian result, while Alex Dunne remains in fourth.
- Stenshorne's Setback: Martinius Stenshorne briefly held points after a late overtake on Rodin teammate Alex Dunne, only to have them wiped out by a post-race stewards' decision.
- Team Shakeup: Campos Racing heads the teams' standings with 168 points. MP Motorsport jumped from third to second on 136 points, pushing Rodin Motorsport down to third with 128. ART Grand Prix also moved past Trident into sixth place.
What's next:
The championship heads into the next rounds with almost no breathing room at the summit. Tsolov will aim to carry his momentum and overhaul Mini, while Campos tries to maintain its healthy buffer in the teams' standings. For Rodin and Stenshorne, recovering from a costly penalty weekend will be essential to keeping their respective campaigns on track.
