Race 1

Liam Lawson produced a dominant effort in winning the first race of the weekend, with Team Motopark team-mates Julian Hanses and Marino Sato finishing second and third respectively. Several drivers started the race on wet tyres, gambling on a potential downpour later on in the race. The weather would remain dry and those who gambled on the wet tyres would begin to tumble down the field. Kjærgaard, Tsunoda and Hahn all fell victim to the narrow nature of the circuit, retiring due to accident damage.^[3]
