In the final round of the UIM F2 Powerboat World Championship, held in Portugal (Race 2), Monegasque driver Giacomo Sacchi once again demonstrated his speed and competitiveness throughout the weekend.
Right from the first practice sessions, Sacchi established himself among the frontrunners with a second-place finish in free practice. He confirmed this form in qualifying, securing P2 once again, before also clocking the second-fastest time in the warm-up session. All the signs were therefore pointing to a solid race.
Over the course of the 38-lap race, the Monegasque driver battled hard throughout and eventually crossed the finish line in fifth place.
This final round brings to a close a season that has been mixed in terms of results, despite the significant work carried out throughout the year. Preparation and qualifying performances have been a particular highlight of the season, with Giacomo Sacchi consistently featuring among the frontrunners. In a discipline where starting position is particularly important, this progress is a key factor in achieving good results in the race.
However, several penalties incurred during races throughout the season compromised a number of results and likely prevented the Monegasque driver from securing positions closer to the front of the overall standings.
This Portuguese finale nevertheless confirms Giacomo Sacchi’s potential, as he has shown he is capable of holding his own amongst the world’s best drivers over a race weekend. With his speed clearly evident and significant work having been done on qualifying, the Monegasque driver now has a solid foundation on which to prepare for the next season of the UIM F2 World Championship.
