Minì grabbed pole in a tight Sakhir qualifying, edging Bortoleto by under a tenth. The Sprint, run off the reversed grid, belonged to Colapinto early: he held the lead through two safety-car interruptions, the first triggered by Villagómez tipping Bortoleto into trouble, defending stoutly from Collet and then Martí. Martí cleared Collet at Turn 4 after the restart, then swept around the outside of the same corner to take the lead from Colapinto in the closing laps and pulled clear to win, also setting fastest lap. Colapinto held second from Collet; Bortoleto was hit with a ten-second penalty for the Villagómez clash. In the Feature, Bortoleto pounced on pole-sitter Minì into Turn 1 and led a Trident charge. Minì fought back, retaking second from Saucy and then passing Bortoleto for the lead on track, but a five-second penalty for a start-procedure infringement undid him. A late safety car after a Smith–Faria clash erased the gap, and Minì was classified eighth. Bortoleto duly won ahead of Trident team-mate Goethe, with Beganovic third. The result put Bortoleto top of the standings and Trident clear in the teams' table.
