Grand Prix of France – Iwasa winner, Théo Pourchaire second

Ayumu Iwasa finished in second place, behind Logan Sargeant who secured pole position yesterday, by a margin of six thousandths of a second ahead of the Japanese driver.

Jack Doohan had taken the lead of the race at the start by overtaking Frederik Vesti, Logan Sargeant, and Ayumu Iwasa.

The Japanese driver from Dams was able to overtake Jack Doohan at the northern chicane on the first lap.

Clément Novalak is the first to change his tires at the end of the eighth lap. A few laps later, his compatriot Théo Pourchaire follows suit. The Frenchman had held onto his fifth place since the start for the first eleven laps. Two laps later, the poleman stops at his pit, but unfortunately, due to a clutch issue, the Carlin driver couldn’t continue.

In the pit stop game, Théo Pourchaire comes out on top, with warm tires, he was able to overtake Jack Doohan and subsequently his teammate Frederik Vesti.

A few laps later, the Australian attempted a maneuver on the French driver that couldn’t succeed. The Virtuosi driver messes up and ends up spinning out.

Ayumu Iwasa had a rather calm race in the lead. Théo Pourchaire demonstrated all his talent to secure this beautiful second place. ART locked out the podium with Frederik Vesti finishing in third place. We can even say it was a French 1-2-3, with one Dams and two ART GP drivers on the podium!

It is worth noting the impressive performance of Clément Novalak, who started in fifteenth position and finished in the points in a fantastic eighth place!

See you next week for the last meeting in Hungary before the summer break.
