He would control the race from start to finish, and eventually took his first win of the year by six seconds.[77] Daruvala felt that his win was "overdue" due to him being "quick in the races, not so much in qualifying".[78] Daruvala experienced a poor start in the feature race, sinking to fourth as Zhou and Lawson both passed him.

This resulted in contact, with Doohan and Sargeant hitting the wall, causing the both of them to retire from the race. Daruvala was given a reprimand for the incident, but no penalty.[131] On lap 7, he pit under the safety car which was brought out byCalan Williams' accident at the Ascari chicane, and he would jump both Iwasa and Armstrong in the pit stops.
