Trident driver Verschoor dominated Sunday’s race, his gamble on slick tyres on the drying track paying off as the Dutchman quickly snatched the lead before crossing the line 13 seconds ahead of Jehan Daruvala.
Campos driver Roberto Merhi had finished second on the road, but the Spaniard was given a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits, relegating him to fifth in the provisional classification behind Daruvala, Sargeant and Enzo Fittipaldi.
