But the race would be a different thing. The race would start with Knifery, who couldn't qualify, winning 10 places at the start and placing himself in P5 after the first lap. The race would go on with constant battles in the mid table but the top 3 stayed the same, Sab in P1, Semicolon in P2 and Bubu in P3. But in lap 13 the Indochina Racing driver pitted, leaving the other 2 drivers with a clean track, causing that when, a few laps later, they pitted, Semicolon would be leading the GP, with Sab behind and Bubu in P3. But Bubu in a single lap would overtake first Sab in turn 9 and then, taking advantage of Semi's mistake in turn 23, would get P1. The battle would go on for the remaining 4 laps, but no one could avoid Bubu's victory and a great start for ChunkOfCheese's project with Ural Racing. | But the race would be a different thing.

Cuba would be back for the 2023 calendar, now being one of the first races. The qualifying would be one of the tightest ever, showing how competitive F1 was becoming. Despite this, Sab2003 would still get pole position, with a 00:44.86, but with Knifery incredibly close: 00:44.94. The rest of the drivers were less than 5 seconds away from pole, a thing that's hard to see with the one-shot qualifying format. | |||
The race started with Knifery and a great start the would give him the lead. But it was short-lived, as he went to deep into turn 1, stepping on the pit exit line and loosing 3 positions. The leaderboard became stable during several laps, with Sab leading the race, until Lemoncy, Fatih, Bubu & Knifery catched up to him, giving a 5-way fight for the lead. Despite this, Lemon was the only one who was able to overtake sab and for one lap, before the Indochina driver took back P1. Pitstops wouldn't be that important in this race, and Lemoncy, who stayed in P2 almost the whole race would see his pace drop down in the last laps, causing him to fall from podium positions to P4. This podium spots were ocuppied by Bubu, who would lead the championship with the P2 he achieved and Fatih, in his first ever podium. Sab won the Grand Prix and hopped on the fight for the title. | |||
