De Vries went into the final leading the championshi𓃲p but had a lot of work to do from 13th on the grid.

Mitch Evans looked set to be the favourite given that he was sౠtar𝔉ting from third on the grid with Jake Dennis the outsider from ninth. 

There was drama from the off as Evans stalled at the start, sever🧔al cars avoided his stricken Jaguar except for Venturi’𝔉s Edoardo Mortara.

With both Evans and Mortara out of the race a𝓰t the start, the race was ඣred-flagged due to the amount of debris left out on track. 

Once the race restarted, Denni💎s was eighth putting him in likely title contention with de Vries out of the points.

The drama contin🧜ued as Dennis lost control of his BMW into Turn 1, clattering the barriers.

Fromꦺ then on, the destiny of the title was in de Vries’ hands with his three main rivals out of the race.
