Red Bull Ring European F3: Rosenqvist beats Giovinazzi in race two

Felix Rosenqvist took a lights-to-flag victory for Prema Powerteam in the second Formula 3 European Championship race of the weekend at the Red Bull Ring

The Swede converted pole into an early lead, and despite a late safety car, held off Jagonya Ayam-backed Carlin racer Antonio Giovinazzi to claim his seventh win of the season.

Rosenqvist and current championship leader Giovinazzi traded fastest lap times throughout the 24-lap race, but the Italian was unable to get by, with the pair separated by just 1.3 seconds at the chequered flag.

Ferrari protege Lance Stroll soaked up race-long pressure from Charles Leclerc to come home third and record his maiden European F3 podium finish.

Leclerc was forced to settle for fourth for Van Amersfoort Racing, seeing off a late challenge from Signature's Alexander Albon in fifth.

Markus Pommer recovered from a second poor start of the weekend to claim sixth place for Motopark, passing George Russell in the closing stages after Ryan Teeter prompted a late safety car with a spin at Turn 4.

Race one winner Jake Dennis - running on old tyres - progressed from 10th on the grid to cross the line eighth, ahead of Mikkel Jensen and Gustavo Menezes.

Sergio Sette Camara lined up a career best fourth on the grid, but a jump-start cost the Brazilian a drive-through penalty, which dropped him to 19th, well out of contention.
