Starting from pole position, ꩵHauger maintained the lead into Turn 1 ahead of Trideಌnt’s David Schumacher.

Hauger’s superior pace was apparent immediate൲ly as he managed to break DRS to Schumacher behind as Victor Martins started to apply intense pre♐ssure. 

With Hauger running several seconds clear out front, the focus was on the battle for second between Martins and Schuꦏmacher. 

The pair came to blows🦹 three laps from the end as Martins tried an aggressive lunge into the banked Turn 3 corner, hitting Schumacher and sending him into the barriers. 

The tangle allowed Clement Novalak to move into second, while Martins was handed a 10-second time penalty for his role in the incident, handing Aleꦯksandr Smolyar the final spot on the rostrum.

With Hauger taking the victory, h🐬e has extended his ℱlead to 43 points going into the Russia finale over Jack Doohan, who finished fourth. 

With a maximum of 65 points available at each race weekend, it’🙈s in Hauger’s hands going to Sochi.
