Alex Dunne

You can't even say it was a commanding performance in one race.

Qualifying, he was absolutely on it, you know, two tenths clear of Alex Dunne.

That's...

That's not a gap that you usually see in F2.

It was hard and fair.

But... with Solov it felt like he was expected to be let past to to go and gain championship points and then when he obviously wasn't able to get past he spun and maybe is that pressure and dare I say it, immaturity playing on his mind.

We've seen the incidents with him and Alex Dunne in F3 and without a doubt he's matured since then.

But is there maybe that bit more of a learning curve that needs to be done? And I think with Kamara as well, it will be a lesson learned for Solov this year and that maybe more patience is needed, the same as Kamara.

Round 11 of the 2026 Formula 2 season proved to be a crucial one with important implications in the drivers' standings.

Dino Beganovic set the pace of the weekend, taking his second pole position of the season, qualifying ahead of Alex Dunne and Rafael Camara.

Rato Mamiyata utilised a strong start in the sprint race to leapfrog reverse grid pole sitter Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. and go on to take his first victory in the championship.

Fittipaldi took his maiden podium in second, with Lawrence van Hoepen completing the rostrum.

yeah again symptomatic of just the sprint was very boring in Formula 2 because they're all it's a sprint race I think only one person went on soft and it was just literally a sprint on hard tyres for who could stay out of the barriers the longest but his qualifying is getting much better qualified second finished second in the main race he went into this weekend on 118 points For reference, Nikola Solov went into this weekend on 177 points in the lead of the championship.

Nikola Solov is still on 177 points and Alex Dunne is now on 139.

Gabriele Mini was the other big winner this weekend.

He outscored the two ahead of him by 4 points, 6 points.

I'm thinking about all these drivers that very rarely get mentioned, so thank you very much indeed, Peter or Peter for that, because, uh, another brilliant driver that we should never have lost.

Uh, Daniel Brazil4683, "What do you make of Alex Dunne's chance of getting to Formula 1? Seems to be dwindling, unfortunately." Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it, how quickly the stock falls.

Um, I'm just gonna go see if...

I've got a new studio here.

I mean, McLaren used to be powered by Nissan, you never know.

You can consider Alex Dunne if he ever pops up on the scene for a Formula E seat.

You'd get a quick driver.

You'd also get someone who comes with a sizable audience and a lot of support as well.

So I think he'll stay, and Colapinto will stay as well.

Yeah, I think the only thing that possibly threatens Colapinto is when you look at the likes of Alex Dunne coming through Formula 2 at the moment.

Dunne driving phenomenally at the moment.

I think he's still attached to Alpine.

Uh, let's check.

Alpine Junior drivers.

Have they still got Alex Dunne in it? I can't remember.

They've got Kush Maini, yep.
