The Porsche driver decisively took the lead of the race at the start of lap 21 following a brief safety car to retrieve debris and managed his remaining energy over the remaining six laps.

Da Costa had to withstand late pressure from Robin Frijns, who had battled back into second place after re-passing Mitch Evans on the penultimate lap at the Portland International Raceway.

Evans completed the podium to move to within just nine points of Jaguar team-mate Cassidy, who after spinning out of the lead in Saturday’s race, failed to score again on Sunday after pitting for a new front wing.

Fellow title protagonist Pascal Wehrlein finished fourth minus his front wing after contact with Edoardo Mortara earlier in proceedings, and also now sits 12 points behind Cassidy in the standings.
