[2] The event was initially scheduled as the opening round of the season to be held at Circuit Paul Ricard in conjunction with the 2021 French Grand Prix, however amendments made to the 2021 Formula One calendar resulted in the change.

The American relegated her Liechtensteiner team-mate out of the points, whilst Sarah Moore found herself in a battle with a Spanish rookie for the second consecutive weekend – once again holding off said driver, this time Nerea Martí.

Their battle proved fairer than that of Puma team-mates Marta García and Gosia Rdest; the Spaniard recovering from her earlier stall caught her Polish stablemate at the mid-point of the race and spun her out at turn 4.

The podium places were running away from the rest of the field – fourth-placed Tomaselli did not have the pace of the top three and formed a train with Moore next in line, who capitalised on the Brazilian's woes passing her for fourth on the penultimate lap.

The previous weekend's winner Alice Powell had an anonymous race, starting 12th and finishing 8th ahead of Belén García and Wohlwend – the Liechtensteiner beating Visser to the last point by just over two tenths of a second.
