Visoiu leads Sainz in Arden one-two

Robert Visoiu led an MW Arden 1-2 sweep in a processional GP3 sprint race in Hungary.

The Romanian led every one of the 17 laps and was never under threat from his fast-starting teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. despite a late safety car erasing his advantage. Such was Visoiu's pace, during the two-lap final dash to the flag, he built up a 4.1-second winning margin.

Aside from the start, there was not a single change of position among the point-paying places.

Kevin Korjus took third for Koiranen, Facu Regalia fourth for ART, Jack Harvey fifth for ART.

With points leader Tio Ellinas making up two positions to finish 10th, he still failed to score a point, which has allowed Regalia and Conor Daly, who took the final point in eighth, to close up in the championship.

Saturday's winner Aaro Vainio lost a place at the start, and finished ninth.
