C3: Ticktum winner of a contested and rugged race

The start was once again marked by a pile-up at the exit of turn 1 involving Ben Hingeley (Hitech GP), Nikita Troitsky (Carlin) and Jonathan Aberdein (Motopark) leading to the race being neutralized by red flag.

Tempers continue to heat up with two other safety cars on track, one to recover the Van Amersfoort Racing of Keyvan Andres Soori, and another to clear the car de Sacha fenestraz (Pug).

Once the green flag is waved, the places are worth a lot of money and are exchanged between drivers until Daniel Ticktum (Motopark) and Jüri Vips (Motopark) do not overtake and escape from Marcus Armstrong (Prema Racing). The two teammates from the German team fought for victory until the line, separated by only 0 seconds at the checkered flag.

Guan Yu Zhou (Prema Racing) ranks 4th in the race ahead of Jehan Daruvala (Carlin). The Prema Racing then follows with Ralf Aron ahead of Robert Shwartzman and Mick Schumacher. Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP) and Ferdinand Habsburg (Carlin) complete the top 10.
