Matthieu Vaxiviere, Nicolas Lapierre and Andre Negrao extended their lead in the drivers’ championship with a surprise victory in a thrilling race at Monza, which was decided in controversial circumstances as the leading two cars came to blows with just over an hour to run.
Having taken over the driving duties of the #36 Alpine A480 after the sixth round of pitstops, Vaxiviere quickly dispatched the #8 Toyota GR010 of Ryo Hirakawa and was then able to catch the race leading #7 Toyota of Kamui Kobayashi in no time.
