How Oleksandr Bondarev Fared at the Vallelunga Round
- The Ukrainian posted the 18th- and sixth-fastest times in free practice. Qualifying didn't go Oleksandr's way — the driver finished 14th in his group and 27th overall. Bondarev later explained in an exclusive comment to DeTalks that this was due to engine trouble.
- In both group races, the Ukrainian driver started 18th. In the first, Oleksandr managed to climb seven positions, and in the second, Bondarev finished in ninth place.
- The Williams Driver Academy member started the final race 17th but couldn't finish it after an incident with Russian driver Artem Severiukhin. As a result, Oleksandr Bondarev scored no points in the round's final race.
