Following a battle for the lead between polesitter Zak O'Sullivan and Oliver Bearman the latter was able to build a gap on his competitors. Bearman would cross the line in first place, but was given a time penalty for extending the track on multiple occasions, which promoted fellow rookie Isack Hadjar to the top step of the podium. Bearman ended up second and Alexander Smolyar finished third. [6]
