Maini claimed his first F2 victory of the season and his first podium with Dams Lucas Oil, making him the first Indian to win at one of the most prestigious tracks in the world.

Having started from pole, the BWT Alpine F1 team reserve driver showed control and precision throughout the race, capitalising on a strong start.

Maini qualified P10 for the feature race on Sunday, which made him the pole sitter for Saturday바카라s Sprint Race with the reverse grid system. Having had a solid start at lights out, the Dams driver enjoyed all 30 laps of the race as the race leader.

바카라P1 and first Indian to win at Monaco. It's a great honour and dream come true really. I want to thank DAMS and everyone who바카라s supported me. We keep believing,바카라 said an emotional Maini after the podium celebration and singing the national anthem.

Having endured a tough start to the 2025 season, the Monaco win came at the right time to boost his confidence and performance.

Indian business tycoon Gautam Singhania was also seen in the pit lane embracing Maini after the monumental win. Singhania바카라s JK Racing, along with TVS Racing, has been supporting Maini in his racing career from the beginning.

With this win, Maini will look to build on the momentum at the Feature race on Sunday and carry it forward to Barcelona next weekend.
