Antonio Giovinazzi triumphed in the first FIA F3 European Championship race at Zandvoort, converting pole position into his fourth victory of the season.

The Italian held onto the lead at the start with Felix Rosenqvist staying second behind him.

As such, the duo took first and second respectively, with Markus Pommer bringing his Motopark car home in?third, celebrating his maiden podium in the championship.

Ferrari junior Lance Stroll finished fourth, followed by championship leader Charles Leclerc?and George Russell, who came under some pressure from fellow Briton Alex Albon.

Mikkel Jensen grabbed eighth as the top Mucke driver ahead of maiden point-scorer Nabil Jeffri (whose sixth-place qualifying result was lost to a grid penalty carried over from Norisring contact) and Brandon Maisano.

Jake Dennis continued his bad run from Norisring, having received a drive-through for a false start and eventually retiring in the pits.
