Fedrer was unable to host the Crimean Grand Prix due to surgery just before the race leading to controversy; a trapdoor was left open at the start of the grandprix allowing a surplus of track invaders. The race start itself was not without controversy, the start began suddenly catching multiple drivers off-guard such as 32Jeelow. The race was restarted with GabeTM in the lead followed by F1rret and his teammate Bubisen. | |||
''' | The race began without FatihAr due to the large server queues giving Jeelow the advantage over Gabe into the first corner, the pair followed by bubisen and Warsaw Pegasus driver KrisusQ. Gabe was able to retake his 1st position in the final corner of lap 2 however pitted early leaving him in P5 but was back into 1st . Lakeberries was able to improve her starting position from P10 to P6 within the opening laps, challenging fellow Patagón F1rret for the first laps, his teammate being bumped and demoted to the lower points positions. Bubisen briefly overtook Jeelow after he was hit by a track invader in the middle of the grand prix, taking P2 for 3 laps when he was overtaken into the chicane. Bubisen was then caught by a quicker F1rret who was fighting at the time for his first podium after only ever achieving a 9th in the 2023 season. The Hungarian driver claimed victory in the battle after the pair got lagged out of their boats on the main straight, a backmarker separating the two allowing a gap to be built. Gabe's internet and late pit threw him all the way to P7 as the chequered flag fell allowing Jeelow to take his second victory at the Crimean Grand Prix ahead of Bubisen in P2 and F1rret scoring his first ever podium in P3 after starting P6. He edged out Kravat in the final 10 laps who, himself, started in P10 after failing in Saturday's qualifying session. Just behind him was KrisusQ achieving Warsaw Pegasus' best position, a solid P5 - which was almost a P4 - to the losing team of last year placing them P6 on the team championship. He was followed by Indochina driver Lakeberries who finished her second race in P6, 5 positions ahead of her starting position. Behind came the unlucky lag-plagued Gabe in P7 with Accelerons Semicolon recovering from last position after a lap 1 pit behind. The top 10 was finished by BMW's main driver, Corgo who placed 9th after also experiencing lag and Smalls who gained her and Ford's first points of the season. | ||
