C2: First victory for Vips in a rugged race

The race was interrupted on the first lap after a spectacular accident between Daniel Ticktum (Motopark) whose car stalled on the grid and Ameya Vaidyanathan (Carlin) was unable to avoid the Briton's car. The race was interrupted a minute later while pole sitter Robert Shwartzman (Prema Racing) was also forced to retire in another accident.

The race restarts for 23 minutes, the battle rages for the lead of the race and it is Jury Vips (Motopark) who takes the advantage over Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP). The Estonian was no longer worried about the race by the Briton and the rookie, reigning German F4 champion, won his first victory in F3.

Enaam Ahmed and Marcus Armstrong (Prema Racing) complete a 100% rookie podium. Keyvan Andres Soori (Van Amersfoort Racing) signs his best result in F3 with a 4e place in front of Alex Palou (Hitech GP) who overtakes Ferdinand Habsburg (Carlin) in the last minutes of the race.

Jehan Daruvala (Carlin) takes 6e position in front of Marino Sato (Motopark). Long in battle for points, Sacha fenestraz (Carlin) finally ranks 9e before Mick Schumacher (Prema Racing).
