Concierge Medical’s sponsored athlete, Zak O’Sullivan, secured his first Formula 2 victory at one of the most glamorous and historic races on the calendar.
Starting 15th on the grid after qualifying, a win seemed distant. However, the team had been making significant progress with the car, and Zak knew he had the speed to be competitive.
Zak impressively ran 40 of the 42-lap feature race on the same set of tyres. With only a few laps remaining, a crash at the pit exit allowed Zak to take his mandatory stop and emerge from the pits in the lead. A pit stop just 4 seconds later would have resulted in disqualification under F2 rules. The team’s strategy paid off brilliantly.
“Taking the chequered flag was an amazing feeling!” said Zak. “It’s Monaco, so it’s probably the one race, besides your home race, you really want to win.”
