After a quadruple in qualifying, the race quickly turned into a disaster for Prema Theodore Racing who saw their polesitter, Mick Scumacher, being hit on the first lap by Guanyu-Zhou, pushing both drivers to retire. While leading the race, Ralf Aron was hit by his compatriot Jüri Vips (Motopark), leaving the field open to a surprising Fabio Scherer (Motopark) at the head of the race.

Throughout the duration of the event, Scherer and Dan ticktum (Motopark) exchange the lead of the race, particularly when braking at Les Combes. The advantage ultimately turns to the benefit of the pilot Red Bull, the Swiss finding himself having to defend on Jehan Daruvala (Carlin) to save his second place.

Daniel Ticktum offers himself another victory this season ahead of Fabio Scherer and Jehan Daruvala. Robert Shwartzman saves the furniture for Prema with a 4^e position ahead of Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP). Marcus Armstrong (Prema Racing) had to fight until the end to keep his 6^e place facing Sacha fenestraz (Carlin), the drivers finishing within the same tenth of a second. Nikita Troistky (Carlin) and Jonathan Aberdein (Motopark) follow while Ferdinand Habsburg (Carlin) completes the top 10.
