Charles Leclerc, current GP3 Championship titleholder, took the grid in pole position for his first race with the Prema Racing team on April 15. On that day, he secured a third place on the podium.

The day after, his only goal was to win. While leading the sprint race, he undertook a tyre change just 9 laps before the finish. This daring move forced him to give the race his all. He proceeded to gain on the leading drivers at a rate of three to four seconds per lap, flying by his rivals to a podium position two laps before the end of the race. One lap later, and Leclerc had caught up to Rowland and Ghiotto to claim his first triumph in Formula 2 by a 1.569-second margin.

Following these two podiums, one of them a victory, Charles Leclerc now tops the Provisional Overall Ranking for the F2 Championship, with a total of 36 points. These results demonstrate once again he has all the qualities of a Formula 1 driver: discipline, determination, and verve.
