Camara's first stint on the soft tyres lasted 22 laps, outlasting his rivals. Starting in fifth after pitting, he caught and passed those who had stopped earlier, extending his lead with each lap. His performance was a testament to his strategic acumen and driving skill.

Podium Finishers

Nikola Tsolov of Campos Racing and the Red Bull Junior Team secured second place with a late stop to soft tyres, making a strong push to the podium. Alexander Dunne of Rodin Motorsport and the Alpine Academy finished third, continuing his streak of podium appearances in F2 weekends this season.

Dunne initially took the lead from Camara on the run to the first corner but was unable to defend on older tyres as Camara and Tsolov closed in. The race highlighted the importance of tyre management and race strategy in Formula 2.
