First victory of the season for Sargeant, Pourchaire 6th

Already on pole last week, Logan sargeant could not do better than 3rd place, overtaken on the first lap by Liam Lawson (Hitech) after having difficulty getting his tires up to temperature. This time, the American learned and did not repeat the same pattern. Author of a good start, the Prema driver quickly put himself out of reach of Jake Hughes, 2nd, (HWA Racelab), who got the better of Liam Lawson when the lights went out, to experience a quiet race in lonely. 

The New Zealand driver Lawson, in pain throughout the race, heroically resisted Frédérik Vesti for several laps, to take a fine 3rd place and a new podium, a week after winning in race 1. He also pocketed the two bonus points for the best lap in the race. For his part, the championship leader Oscar piastri (Prema Racing) finished 7th and conceded big points to the American. 

French side, Theo Pourchaire made a good attack run. Starting 6th, the Frenchman first got the better of Viscaal during the first lap, before coming up against Vesti and being surprised by David Beckmann (Trident) while he was attacking the Dane. The ART Grand Prix driver finally finished 1th and will start on the third row on Sunday in race 6. He will have his compatriot Clément Novalak (Carlin) in front of him, 2th after starting from 9th place. He will start from 12nd place on Sunday.
