1st career win for Rossello
After a dominating performance Williams driver Hugo Rossello could win his first ever race. He only faced a minor challenge by Jednak in the first few laps, but soon could pull away to never look back. Jednak finished 2nd, but lost the position to Lintner who was found to be wrongfully penalised during the race, and got a time bonus applied. Laad increased his lead in the championship with 4th, losing out to his teammate for only the 2nd time this season. Harvey finished 5th, Utzer behind him in 6th. Lutz initially finished 7th, but 2 penalties applied post race saw him demoted all the way down to 11th. Wolf inherited 7th place, with the Aston duo Keranen in 8th and Sigoulakis in 9th. Mishra still took 10th, despite accumulating a whole bunch of penalties throughout the race. Said was the last one to cross the line, the only thing he got right today. Improper start, and missing to do the mandatory pitstop saw him too awarded with plenty of penalties. Taddo retired after his car broke down in the formation lap.
