Classification

Summary

Kevin Korjus set the fastest time in qualifying. ^[1] He was overtaken at the start by Jack Harvey, who then led every lap to win the race. A significant portion of the race took part under safety car conditions following a collision between Patrick Kujala and David Fumanelli, where Kujala was launched over Fumanelli's car ad landed upside down on a tyre barrier. ^[2] Third place went to Facu Regalia after Conor Daly, who had moved from ninth to second on the opening lap, was given a drive through for a false start. ^[3]

Giovanni Venturini started on pole position for the reverse grid sprint race. Nick Yelloly attempted to overtake Venturini at the start of the race, but ran wide at the exit of Village, giving Venturini back the lead. ^[4] They fought closely throughout the race, but in the end, it was Venturini who won, a first victory in GP3 for him and for Trident. ^[5] Tio Ellinas remained in the lead of the drivers' championship, ten points ahead of Korjus, with ART Grand Prix leading the teams' championship. ^[6]
