22 July 2022 at 19:05 Engine problems in qualifying for Dennis Hauger Formula 2 driver Dennis Hauger had to give up during qualifying ahead of the WC round in France with problems with the car. He ended up finishing 18th in qualifying. With seven minutes left in qualifying, the TV images showed that the Norwegian swerved off the road and stopped the car. Clearly there were problems with the car that stopped the Prema driver. He was then in 13th place. That gives the Norwegian a big job for the rest of the weekend. As usual, both sprint races and main races will be run on the course west of Marseille. The sprint race is run on Saturday afternoon, before the main race starts on Sunday morning. The Aurskog boy can point to two victories in a season that has also offered a lot of adversity. In recent weeks, he and the Prema team have struggled to get the car up to speed. This has resulted in a number of weak placements. Hauger has particularly struggled in the qualifications, and Friday was no exception. He had a boost when, almost two weeks ago, he moved up from 15th to 4th place in the main race in Spielberg in Austria. In the WC summary, Hauger is in 7th place with 67 points after 16 out of 28 races. Felipe Drugovich from Brazil tops with 154 points.
