In the final Verstappen is unchallenged. He also stops the fastest lap of the race (51”593) and wins ahead of a revitalized Thonon and of ART Grand Prix star Charles Leclerc, who demonstrated yet again a very mature race conduct.
For Lennox-Lamb – out while strongly in 2^nd due to a mechanical problem – the chance of second place in the final and in the championship disappears on lap 13.
De Conto is protagonist of a massive comeback from 12^th all the way to 4^th with Ardigò and Abbasse on his shadow to complete the championship podium. Pex, Foré, Dreezen and Toninelli round up the top-10.

In the second race of the Academy Trophy, raced just before the KZ final, Melgar (ESP) took the win ahead of Potty (BEL) and Petrov (RUS)
