Vips quickly establish🥀ed a comfortable lead over Oscar Piastri, who overtook Law🧸son on the opening lap. 

Lawson’s chances of the podium were ruinꦐed when he picked up a 10-second time penalty for forcing Theo Pourchaire off the track.

Drugovich got ahead of Boschung into Turn 1 on Lap 24 to finish fourth, while🥂 Lawson managed to recover to sixth after his penalty.

Ticktum mad෴e it three-wide into the corner, forcing Pourchaire into Armstrong’s path - ruining both drivers' races.

To the Carlin driver’s disapp✃ointment,🔯 he was handed a 10-second time penalty for the incident.
