The race was put on hold early on after a number of cars were♚ forced to retire fro𒉰m the race.

Caio Collet pౠicked up suspension 𓂃damage after running over the kerbs at Turn 6/7, while Zane Maloney and Francesco Pizzi were out on the opening lap. 

Once the race got back underway, pole-sitter Franco Colapinto led𝔍 Martins and Alexꦰander Smolyar.
