Isack Hadjar took his second race win of the 2022 Formula 3 season after making a late-race overtake on Victor Martins.
Starting from fourth place on the grid, the French driver quickly moved past Kush Maini for a spot on the podium and set his sights on Reece Ushijima and Martins ahead.
On lap eight, Hadjar overtook Ushijima for second place, with the Van Amersfoort Racing driver falling further in the order after losing the lead to Martins on the opening lap.
Hadjar pursued Martins and closed up to the rear of his compatriot, however the race was interrupted by a Safety Car following a collision between the Charouz Racing team-mates of Laszlo Toth and Zdenek Chovanec.
When the Safety Car ended, Hadjar continued his chase on Martins, and progressed past the Alpine academy driver on the penultimate lap.
Martins kept himself in front of Ushijima at the finish line, collecting more valuable points to add to his championship-leading tally.
Ushijima secured his first podium result of the year, with his only other points coming at the last round in Barcelona.
Maini was fourth for MP Motorsport, ahead of Kaylen Frederick and Roman Stanek.
Zane Maloney was seventh, and led the PREMA Racing trio of Arthur Leclerc, Oliver Bearman and Jak Crawford, who rounded out the top 10.
Sunday’s Feature Race from Silverstone will get underway at 08:35 local time.
