The afternoon was cut short for the cars entered in F1 from 1977 to 1980, grouped together in the “Gilles Villeneuve” F-Series: the race was red-flagged three times due to too many on-track incidents. The hardest part had been done the day before for Michael Lyons, who took pole on Saturday in his blue Hesketh 308 E, carrying the colours of a famous men’s magazine. The 33-year-old Briton only had to get off the mark in the two standing starts and the flying start to claim his 8th win in the Principality since 2012, on a circuit he loves. Behind the lucky winner, two splendid yellow Fittipaldis, ‘made in Brazil’, completed the podium: the F5A of Miles Griffiths, a compatriot of Lyons, and the F6A of Jonathan Cochet, the French Formula 3 champion in 2000.
