Viscaal had finished first on the road after a brilliant charge ♛up the order but was slapped with a total 10-second time penalty for two separate incidents which dramatically dropped him out of the points when the race ended behindﷺ the Safety Car.

Reverse-grid pole sitter Beckmann subsequently inherited the win having recovered from his initial struggles early on, heading championship leader Osc♏ar Piastri who finished second in his Prema.

Red Bull Formula 1 junior and one-time race Hauger secured his first F3 podium aꦕppearance in third for Hitech Grand Prix.

Prema’s Logan Sargeant was fourth ahead of MP Motorsport’s Richard Vischoor, while race one winner Theo Pourchaire was sixth for ART Grand Prꦓix.
