Dunne was out of contention for the podium until Lap 19 when Sebastian Montoya began to struggle, eventually dropping out of the race.
Dunne was there to capitalise, having earlier had a sizeable lock-up into turn one on lap 15 which was all the invitation Browning needed to move past him for third, before the British driver eventually made it to second.
