released output

Since the start was made in an endurance race, the cars did not stop and were launched from the formation lap. An inexperienced Goethe tried to push before the final corner, but it went wide. He missed the good opportunity and at the finish line he was overtaken by the second classified, Franco Colapinto, and by Hadjar.

Water rising from the track prevented the chasers from having a reference and it caused touches or dangerous maneuvers on more than one occasion that could have been avoided in the dry. This was the case with David Vidales and Pepe Martín, when only two laps of the race were played. Campos driver Vidales’ car stayed in sector one, between turns two and three, so the safety car had to come out.

Fight for first place

The ‘Safety Car’ was marked three laps later and the race restarted on a straight where absolutely nothing was seen. Colapinto went first and soon after Collet went to try to pass him at the end of the finish line. Inside or outside it doesn’t matter, Motorsport and Van Amersfoort drivers are trying to show that they are both capable of making a good and clean fight. in difficult circumstances.

Just when it looked like the pressure would come from the top drivers, a second safety car was created. But the incident happened in the last rows. A young Brad Benavides did not block the car in time and took Ido Cohen. The American driver’s car, running under the Spanish flag, was left on the track again, with no options to return. The other involved in the incident, but not at fault, Cohen had to retire just one lap later when the safety car was pulling back.

In the new relaunch, when the track dried up, a new battle began. Hadjar passed Collet on the outside and after two corners he turned it around and hit Colapinto again. Just a few places back, Martins went wide and on the way back to the track, Crawford closed him into the wall. This action was taken two laps later by Martins with Leclerc.

Leclerc incident

Collet chases Colapinto from very close, waiting for an error from the Argentine pilot. With six laps remaining, he was able to consolidate the lead and began to ride alone, reaching the finish line with an advantage of more than five seconds. Hadjar made a mistake and lost two positions to Crawford and Maini, opening the door for Crawford to challenge for the podium and cut Martins’ points lead in the championship. But Leclerc prevented this from happening. Only two laps remained when the Monegasque driver came in last and took his teammate, which caused him to finish 20th. Leclerc, in his attempt to return to the track, almost touched Martins and had to exit on the other side of the track, without finishing the race.
