Stoffel Vandoorne won both Formula Renault 3.5 races held at Moscow Raceway, and moved on top of the standings ahead of Kevin Magnussen.
The Belgian driver enjoyed a perfect weekend in Russia. He clinched two pole positions, and won both races.
Vandoorne also benefitted from Kevin Magnussen's problems. Magnussen was found guilty of having blocked other cars during qualifying, and was dropped from 3rd to 17th on the starting grid.
While Vandoorne won race 1 ahead of Antonio Felix Da Costa and Nigel Melker, Magnussen could not do better than 11th position.
Sunday, Vandoorne was again in a dominant form, claiming another win from pole position. After starting from third position, Magnussen ended the race in second place, 11 seconds adrift, and lost championship lead.
