Summary

Red Bull Junior Team driver Alex Lynn took pole position for the opening race of the season.[1] He held off Marvin Kirchhöfer at the start of the race and pulled away to win on debut with a gap of 2.4 seconds to Jimmy Eriksson.[2] It was Eriksson's maiden points finish, having failed to score in the previous season.[3]

Race two was held in damp conditions. Mathéo Tuscher started on pole position and held the lead at the start, but was overtaken by Dean Stoneman on lap two. He was unable to find a way back fast, giving Stoneman his maiden win.[4] Lynn gambled on taking wet tyres during a safety car period, which did not pay off, and he finished 18th;[5] nonetheless, he held the lead of the championship, 8 points ahead of Richie Stanaway.
