It was a low risk move as, already at the back, it offered the pair the opportunity to make up track position in clean air, and also cover off the prospect of a Safety Car. At the race start, Davison held his pole position advantage into the opening corner, van Gisbergen fending off Will Brown in a clean start throughout the field.
