Pedersen Takes out Ammermüller as Rain Creates Chaos

In the battle for third, Pedersen used the slipstream of Ten Voorde and was able to get alongside at the Turn 6 hairpin. However, whilst moving over to defend the inside line, Pedersen missed his braking point and hit Ammermüller.

As a result, the contact spun the German driver around and forced him into his first retirement of the season. Additionally, Pedersen also sustained damage to his left-front tyre suspension and was also out.

Due to the debris on track, the Safety Car was deployed at the end of Lap 4. Then, after four laps, racing resumed and Pereira maintained the lead as the rain began to fall.

Unaware of the changing conditions, Pereira misjudged his braking point and went wide at turn 2 and dropped to sixth. This allowed Ten Voorde to regain first place, while Andlauer managed to overtake Latorre for third.

The Safety Car then made a second appearance after Saul Hack who involved in a huge crash at Turn 2. Hack was hit by Robin Hansson , with Gianmarco Quaresmini also sustaining damage to the right-hand side of his car.
