GP3 Series championship leader Charles Leclerc took his second category victory on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring, despite a late rain shower threatening his lead.
The Monegasque driver led an all ART Grand Prix podium as team-mates Alexander Albon and Nick de Vries came in second and third respectively.
Leclerc lost the lead at the start, dropping to third as Albon took the lead, followed by Koiranen GP's Ralph Boschung, but that order didn't stand for long as Leclerc quickly got past the pair to relclaim the lead, where he would remain until the checkered flag.
It wasn't however straightforward after that as rain arrived, shrinking Leclerc's lead, but he managed to hold on despite a quick Albon closing down.
It was an unfortunate race for Oscar Tunjo after he wa shown a black-and-orange flag when a rearview mirror fell off his car, costing him fourth place.
That position went to Boschung instead, with Antonio Fuoco fifth, followed by Nirei Fukuzumi, Jake Hughes, Jack Aitken and Sandy Stuvik to complete the top ten.
