Spielberg saw Bortoleto announce himself. In the Sprint, Bearman passed pole-sitter Maini at the start and went on to win ahead of Martí and Aron; a first-lap clash between Maini and Martí broke Martí's front wing and dropped Maini down the order. The Feature was the breakthrough: pole-man Hauger stalled at the start, leaving Dürksen leading from Bortoleto, who hunted him down and took the lead into Turn 4 to claim his maiden F2 victory. Behind, a clever long-game on the harder compound launched Colapinto, who charged up to second with a final-lap pass on Hadjar, the Frenchman completing the podium in third. Maloney retired with engine failure, bringing out a VSC, and Bearman also stopped with engine trouble. Martí was hit with a heavy time penalty for pitting under the VSC, and Aron and Correa both took five-second penalties. Colapinto's surge moved him into a tie for fifth with Maloney, while the top of the championship stayed locked in a close contest with Bortoleto's maiden win serving notice of the threat to come.
