But the Stewards adjudged Verschoor had forced off his rival in making the overtake and as a result, handed him a five-second penalty at the end of the race, dropping him to P4.

Lindblad, who started sixth, followed Verschoor across the line before being promoted up to P1.

Martí ended up in second to give Campos their first ever one-two finish in F2, and also to make it an all Red Bull Junior Team top two.

Alexander Dunne continued his excellent form for Rodin Motorsport to finish in third place, giving him a second podium of the year. This result means the McLaren Development Programme member tops the Drivers' Championship on 31 points alongside Martí.
