Schumacher led the field away on the opening lap, retaining the lead ahead of Roman Stanek and Ja﷽k Crawford, who went from fifth to th𒀰ird on Lap 1.

The American was handed a five-second penalty after the first race for gaining an advꦦantage off the track.

Crawford looked to have the pace to take the victory, overtaking Stane✨k on the outside of Turn 4 on Lap 9.

As h🎃e reduced the gap to Schumacher, Crawford encountered a mechanical issue a lap later, forcing him to retire from the race prematurely.

Stanek coul💞dn’t hold onto the podium as he wﷺas overtaken by Frederik Vesti and Dennis Hauger, with the pair joining Schumacher on the podium.
