Italy-Emilia Romagna

Maloney took pole at Imola, but the weekend swung on drama. In the Sprint, Colapinto converted reversed-grid pole, was passed by fast-starting Collet, then reclaimed the lead on the final lap at the Tamburello chicane to win for Van Amersfoort. The race was repeatedly neutralised: O'Sullivan and Marti crashed out separately, Ushijima and Malvestiti collided exiting Tamburello, and Leclerc earned a virtual safety car. On the last lap Collet and Hadjar tangled approaching Tamburello and both went into the gravel; Collet retired while Hadjar recovered to fifth. Martins, Crawford and Stanek completed the top four. Overnight rain left the Feature track damp, splitting strategy: Collet, Colapinto and others gambled on grooved tyres and led early before the drying track forced them to pit. Maloney reclaimed the lead but spun out of it at a restart, handing it to Bearman. Stanek hunted him down and passed on the penultimate lap for the win, Crawford second, Hadjar third after Bearman took a 20-second penalty for clashing with Saucy. Martins and Leclerc co-led the standings with Stanek surging to third.
