exit without visibility

The race began with the uncertainty of the time. The single-seaters came out with wet settings when it stopped raining, hoping to get the track wet again. When the lights went out, only drops of water could be seen rising from the asphalt and despite the poor visibility, it was a very clean start, with the remarkable Vidales overtaking more than seven cars.

Alexander Smolyar had the advantage of having no one in front of him and therefore had good visibility which he could use to distance himself from the pursuers on every lap., Zane Maloney and Oliver Bearman. Isack Hadjar, who on Saturday became the new world leader, fell to the eighteenth position after exiting.

Laps are passed and tires are damaged. Slowly, the track has dried up. The young pilots tried to find the wetlands to prevent the tires from overheating while they wait for the rain to return.

Arthur Leclerc, who was punished on Saturday for the contact with Crawford, knows how to emerge again in the face of a difficult scenario. The Monegasque driver managed to move up the ranks, even overtaking his rivals two for two. But the leading role today is not for him. Roman Stanek, David Vidales, Reece Ushijima They staged the biggest fight for tenth place midway through the race.

wheel strategy

In nine laps, Francesco Pizzi was the first to dare to wear dry tires and, despite the fact that the curbs still had a lot of water, the drivers began to pass through the pits to continue with the same approach. Faced with the difficulties of warming up the tires on a very cold track, the drivers have to show their ability to keep the car on the track in the first laps, because as the laps pass, the driving becomes easier and there will be they have a better time. .

Crawford stayed in fourth throughout the race, but with four laps to go he decided to attack Bearman to try to touch the bottom drawer. In the middle of the fight, a double, Edgar, tried to open up thanks to the time improvements he had due to the dry tires, which benefited Bearman to keep Crawford away.

Dry tires are capable of doing wonders and both Zak O’Sullivan as Juan Manuel Correa makes a great comeback and enter the top ten.

Finally went to the podium Alexander Smolyar more than eight seconds behind his pursuers, Zane Maloney and Oliver Bearman and they come in glued, trying to use the ‘photo finish’. Co-leaders Victor Martins and Isack Hadjar finished eleventh and nineteenth.
