Starting from pole position, Drugovich mai✃ntained his lead into Turn 1 ahead of Richard Verschoor and Marcus Armstrong, who overtook Ralph Boschung.

The Brazilian controlled the🃏 race from the front with the top seven starting on the softs. 

Prema's Dennis Hauger was the h🌠ighest medium tyre running, circulating in eighth after the opening lap.

It was a fairly uneventful race compared to the Saturday sprint with Drugo𒉰vich and Verschoor pulling clear of the rest of the fiel🔴d.

Despite a late charge from Verschoor, Drugovich kept a 2.3s gap to take the victory andꦚ move into the lead of the standiꦓngs.

Verschoor finished well clear of the second Prema of Jehan Daru🅠vala, who recov𒅌ered from outside the top 10 to finish on the podium.

The Indian racer's car was found to have a technicܫal issue in qualifying which Prema fixed hence his return to form in the subse🅰quent races.

Jake Hughes finished fourth ahead of Armstro🌞ng, while Hauger was sixth on the alternate strategy.

It could have b♔een better for the reigning F3 champion had he not locked up out of the pit ꦫlane.

Ayumu Iwasa led DAMS teammate R𒊎oy Nissany in seꦐventh and eighth.

Jack Doohan and Juri Vips rounded out the top 10.

It was another pooꦺr race for Theo Pourchaire as he 𒁃retired due to another mechanical issue. 

Similarly, Liam Lawson failed to make the chequered flag after a wheel wasn't fitted properly to his car🅰 at his pit stop.
