Shortly after the start, an incident occurred. Olivier Rowland had an accident that made his car tire pop. The safety car must also enter the track.
After the safety car left the track, Evans managed to overtake to second place after Da Costa made a mistake. Before long, it was Vergne's turn, who was overtaken by Evans to take him to pole position.
However, when he applied attack mode, he fell back down to the third position. This former teammate of Sean Gelael is behind Vergne and Mortara.
Vandoorne was also able to show brilliant performance. Starting the race from the seventh position, this former McLaren driver crawled up to the fifth position when the race was left with 20 minutes + 1 lap.
The competition in the front is increasingly fierce towards the end of the race. Vergne and Evans were only a small distance apart. While Mortara competed with Da Costa in the race for third place.
With less than 10 minutes left in the race, Evans made an extraordinary maneuver to overtake Vergne at Turn seven.
On the last lap, Evans had difficulty with the rear tire. While Vergne was increasingly threatening, Mortara followed. However, Evans managed to maintain his position.
