Rafael Camara will take third place in the FIA Formula 2 standings to Silverstone after turning a difficult Spielberg Feature Race into a controlled damage-limitation result for Invicta Racing.
The Brazilian finished fourth at the Red Bull Ring, 14.903 seconds behind race winner Nikola Tsolov, after a race shaped by strategy, traffic and late pressure from Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak. The result left Camara on 82 points, behind Gabriele Mini on 108 and Tsolov on 106, according to the official Formula 2 results classification.
Camara Keeps Silverstone Target Alive
Camara admitted his battle with Alexander Dunne probably cost him a podium shot, but his post-race message was notably measured. The Ferrari Driver Academy driver said the Spielberg result still counted as “good points” before Formula 2 moves straight to Silverstone from July 3-5.
That matters because Silverstone is Invicta’s home event and a circuit where clean qualifying will be decisive. Camara also enters the weekend clear of Dunne, who sits fourth on 78 points after slipping behind him in Austria.
ReadMotorSport has already tracked how Tsolov’s Spielberg win cut Mini’s championship lead to two points. Camara’s story is different: he did not gain headline momentum, but he protected his title position on a weekend that could easily have unravelled.
Formula 2’s official interview made clear he expects Invicta to fight again at Silverstone.
