The race started under a Safety Car following a first-lap incident. Mid-race he pulled off a double overtake on LAW and GAS at Turn 5, securing his P10 in style. Crossed the line in P10 with 1 well-deserved point.

Post-race on the radio: "It looked pretty good, right? I had to try and go on the inside of Liam and then stay ahead of Pierre to make the move."

What Franco saidA point earned on track with a clean and well-executed move. After the race Franco said: "I'm happy to score a point this afternoon in Belgium after finishing in P10. It was a long and eventful race, but also quite fun at the wheel with a lot of action happening. I quite enjoyed the double overtake, which secured my P10. That was down to a good run and slipstream and then I just had to try and go on the inside of Liam and then stay ahead of Pierre to make the move."
