Rafael Camara has seized the FIA Formula 2 points lead from Nikola Tsolov after a late pass on the line of the first feature race in Azerbaijan.
With Tsolov out of the race after a multi-car incident, Camara was primed to pass his rival, but was tucked up behind Tsolov's team-mate Noel Leon. However, on the final lap, Camara powered past Leon on the run to the line, a la Valtteri Bottas on Lance Stroll at the 2017 F1 race to snatch an extra two points for fourth place.
This moved Camara onto 182 points, ahead of Tsolov on 181.
Following his dominant maximum haul, Rodin's Alex Dunne has also now moved himself into contention and is on 174 points.
Mathius Stenshorne's two points for Feature Race 2 pole have not been added in yet, and will be after that race has been completed.
