A fifth-place finish was enough for Alex Palou to extend his championship lead, now 27 points clear of Kyle Kirkwood.
A Lap 1 crash from the outside of the front row proved costly for Pato O’Ward, who fell from fourth to seventh in the standings.
Christian Lundgaard’s victory bumped him from fifth up to fourth in the standings, carving 20 points out of his deficit to Palou.
Another notable mover was Marcus Armstrong, who climbed back into the top ten after entering the race 13th in the championship, jumping three positions.
