Classification Summary Adderly Fong was replaced by Christopher Höher at Jenzer Motorsport before the race weekend, as Fong was racing in Japan. In addition, Victor Carbone did not appear, and no driver was entered in the Trident #23 car in his place.
Despite a late red flag as Roman de Beer and Alfonso Celis Jr. left the track, Richie Stanaway claimed pole position in qualifying. He was challenged into turn one by Robert Vișoiu, but held the lead. Vișoiu remained within half a second of Stanaway for much of the race; on the penultimate lap, Stanaway ran deep at the chicane, but Vișoiu locked up while attempting to overtake, allowing Stanaway retake the lead and win the race. Nick Yelloly followed him through to make it a 1-2 finish for Status Grand Prix.
Dino Zamparelli started on reverse grid pole for race two. Patric Niederhauser had the best start, allowing him to pass both Zamparelli and Jann Mardenborough, and he held the lead for the rest of the race to take his first GP3 win since 2012. Zamparelli and Mardenborough completed the podium. Alex Lynn remained in the championship lead, 31 points ahead of Stanaway.
