Race 1

Daruvala started from pole, but Norris shot into the lead. A battle ensued between Markelov and Piquet, with them eventually making contact, putting Piquet out of the race. Markelov would later be excluded from the race as a result. On the restart, Munro moved up into second, with Habsburg in third. Another driver would find himself excluded after an incident between Theo Bean and Nicolas Dapero. The stewards had determined that Dapero did not leave enough room on exit and subsequently excluded him from the race. On the second restart, Habsburg made a brilliant move to put himself in the lead, with Norris in second and Munro third. The two Kiwi's, Leitch and Cockerton, were fighting it out for a top five finish whilst Habsburg began to pull out a lead over Norris. After a mistake from Norris, Munro passed him for second, allowing the young Kiwi to pursue Habsburg. Guanyu Zhou retired three laps from the end with terminal problems, denting his championship hopes, but out in front it was Ferdiand Habsburg who would take the win, with James Munro in second and Lando Norris in third.
