V🏅ips dominated the first half of the race after making a storming start fr💧om third on the grid.

The Red Bull-backed junior got past Jack Dooha♊n and was forced to fend off Ralph Boschung intoജ Turn 1.

Vips quickly built up a four-second lead after the Safety Car period which was caused by Frederik Vesti's stricke❀nꦗ ART Grand Prix car.

The race t𝕴urne🐟d on its head on Lap 14 when Vips stopped for soft tyres.

Unlike in previous seasons, the soft compound was holding up we🌟ll - 🍷demonstrated by Marcus Armstrong and Ayumu Iwasa's charge up the order.

A very slow stop for Vips meant he lost the lead of ꦺ🥃the race as he plummeted down the order.

Felipe Dr𓄧ugovich's early stop allowed him to take the lead but the real fight was between Doohan and Pourchaire.

As Doohan was exiting the pit lane, through Turns 1 and 2, he clipped Pourchai꧟re and damaged his front wing in the ♛process. 

Pourchaire managed the race from the front as Vips recovered up to third behind Liamꦇ Lawson. 

The drama didn't stop there as Enzo Fittipaldi spun Richard Verschoor, causing anothe🐻r Safety Car.

The pit lane was hectic as both Dennis Hauger and Calan Wi🎀lliams were released with only three tyres fitted to their respective cars.

ꦅWith time running out, only one la♉p remained after the Safety Car restart which Pourchaire judged perfectly. 

Pourchaire secured his first win of the season ahead of Lawson and Vips, who wasܫ the fastest man on the day.

Boschung finished fꦗourth ahead of Armstrong, Drugovich and Logan Sargeant.

Roy Nissany came away with 🅘eighth after defending heavily throughout, whi🌠le Jake Hughes and Doohan rounded out the top 10.
