Pourchaire took a dominant victory in the first F2 feature race of 2023 in Bahrain, winning by nearly 20 seconds. Full report and results:
The ART Grand Prix driver, who finished second last year, made a long stint on the softer of the two tyre compounds work in his favour to crush any of Ralph Boschung's early hopes of winning both races in Bahrain.
A first lap melee shook up the order at Turn 6, Richard Verschoor and Prema driver Frederik Vesti came together, sending Verschoor into a spin as a slow-starting Victor Martins and Roman Stanek also made contact. Boschung, running on the alternate strategy of starting on the soft tyre, attempted to find a way past Pourchaire on the hard compound, but his challenge slowly began to subside despite a tyre advantage.
Pourchaire's tyres managed to hold up for the 20-lap stint as Boschung was unable to make any inroads on the harder compound, and his lead continued to grow to a near 20-second advantage by the chequered flag. The Rodin Carlin rookie made steady progress after his mandatory pitstop despite resistance from team-mate Enzo Fittipaldi, and was up to eighth by lap 22.
