The Formula 2 champion's McLaren entry made contact with JHR driver Augustin Canapino at the Turn 3 hairpin following a restart, one of several incidents triggered by drivers struggling to bring their tyres up to temperature in a race blighted by caution periods, that also featured a rain shower.
Both drivers continued to the finish, with rookie Pourchaire placing tenth on his return to the series after sitting out the Indianapolis 500 and Canapino taking the flag in 12th.
