The Briton, who started from 2nd place, beat Liam Lawson (Hitech), whose consistency has been extraordinary for several weekends, with a third podium in the last three races 1. 

Despite his 3rd place even though he started on pole, Logan sargeant carried out the right operation since he regained points from his teammate and main competitor in the championship, Oscar piastri (Prema Racing). The Australian only finished 6th on Saturday after completely missing a post-Safety Car restart. 

The two Frenchmen in the field put in a solid race to finish in the Top 10. Clément Novalak (Carlin) was indeed ranked at the foot of the podium (4th), while Theo Pourchaire took the points for 7th place. Which ensures them both a prime place on the grid for Race 2 on Sunday.
