The Story

Barcelona's Sprint was a wet-weather masterclass from Vesti. With heavy rain forcing a rolling start, he passed his way to the front, leading from the early laps and building a healthy cushion. A spin from Correa brought out the safety car, and at the restart Pourchaire, who had started ninth after a grid penalty, surged through to second and pressured Vesti, but the Dane held on to win ahead of Pourchaire and Martins. The decisive wet-to-dry tyre call defined the race, with the caution letting the field switch to slicks without losing position. Crawford was an early casualty after lap-one contact. The Feature was all about strategy and entirely clean – no safety cars at all. Bearman converted his pole into a third straight feature win, managing a two-compound split as alternate-strategy runners charged late. Martins, who started seventh on the alternate plan, snatched the final podium spot from Iwasa with a late Turn 1 move. Bearman won ahead of Fittipaldi and Martins. Vesti extended his championship lead over Pourchaire.
