The 19-year-old driver beat the Japanese to the finish line Yuki tsunoda (Jenzer) and championship leader Robert Shwartzman (Prema). The latter increases his lead to 23 points over Jehan Daruvala (Prema, 5th) thanks to an effective comeback from eighth place.
Another challenger for the title, Jüri Vips does not score any points after a collision and a broken wing. A real blow for the Estonian (21st).
