Rene Lammers fended off a charging Jan Przyrowski to take a first Spanish Formula 4 Championship win in race two of the Motorland Aragon season opener.

Lammers’ MP Motorsport team-mate Ean Eyckmans claimed the lead at the start on the inside of polesitter Thomas Strauven, and Lammers was able to follow him through into second place in the subsequent bends.

Later in the opening lap, Lammers went side-by-side with Eyckmans on the outside into Turn 12. Both cars ran off track and Lammers emerged with the lead.

Having completed the the pass off the track, Lammers was instructed by MP to give the lead back to Eyckmans and he did so down the back straight a lap later.

Meanwhile, Noah Monteiro had also entered the lead fight at the end of lap one and taken third from Campos Racing team-mate Strauven, who soon slowed and pitted with a punctured left-rear tyre on lap three.

Three laps after conceding the lead to Eyckmans, Lammers made a clean move to regain first position into Turn 16.

Behind, Przyrowski took third away from Monteiro, having started back in ninth on the grid.

The Polish Campos driver went on to pass Eyckmans for second place with six minutes left on the clock and a 0.6s gap to Lammers, which he soon slashed in half.

Going onto the final lap, Przyrowski was close enough to send his car down the inside of Lammers in the first corner, but Lammers was able to hold onto the lead.

With Przyrowski then having to defend his second place from Eyckmans in the final corners, Lammers was able to seal victory by 0.618s.

Hudson Schwartz made it three MP Motorsport drivers in the top four after passing Monteiro for fourth on the penultimate lap.

Schwartz had been promoted to third in the race one results after both Monteiro and Eyckmans received track limits penalties that dropped them out of the points.
