The Story

Barcelona kept the title fight tight. Naël edged Campos teammate Ugochukwu to pole by under four hundredths, with Yamakoshi third. The reverse-grid Sprint went to Wharton, who delivered Prema's first F3 win in some time. Starting second, he dropped behind Slater off the line, fought back past him, then took the lead from polesitter Xie into Turn 1 as the DAMS struggled for grip. Two Safety Cars interrupted proceedings, one of them after championship contender Ugochukwu beached his Campos in the gravel. Wharton held on to win from Slater and Xie, with Taponen fourth. The Feature was all Naël, who converted pole into a lights-to-flag win, leading every lap. Yamakoshi launched an early attack into Turn 1 but ran wide and stayed within striking distance without finding a way through, finishing just over seven-tenths behind for a maiden F3 podium. Ugochukwu recovered to third after Del Pino briefly demoted him, the gap to the leaders stretching to seven seconds. Badoer, Deligny and Del Pino followed, with Slater dropping to eighth after a track-limits penalty. Ugochukwu held the championship lead from Naël, who closed the gap with the win.
