Having taken pole position over Vandoorne earlier on Saturday, Dennis was able to hold the lead at the start and keep Vandoorne at bay throughout the entirely of the race - managing his pace and energy to ensure he crossed the line with a 2.2s advantage at the chequered flag.
Dennis cut across Vandoorne at the start of the race and held the lead into the first corner. He thus began to try and set the pace in a bid to control proceedings and match his race victory from last season.
