John Bennett stormed to his first F2 victory in the sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix, taking the chequered flag after a last-lap overtake on Sebastian Montoya, who was also fighting for his first win.
VAR driver Rafael Villagomez rounded out the rostrum at the Red Bull Ring to secure his points of the season, ahead of championship contenders Alex Dunne, Gabriele Mini and Rafael Camara.
Nikola Tsolov lost ground in that fight, unable to score points and having to settle for ninth, the first of the unrewarded places.
A crash at Turn 3 on the opening lap triggered an early safety car, with Emerson Fittipaldi Jr., Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak and Oliver Goethe all consigned to retirement.
Joshua Dürksen's afternoon also came to a premature end, before Colton Herta's ailing Hitech machine caused a virtual safety car period.
Ritomo Miyata, in the team's other car, was handed a five-second time penalty for an infringement under the VSC.
