After an impressive pre-season testing Liam Lawson slid into third just two tenths short behind Ticktum.
The popular Ferrari Academy pair, Robert Schwartzman who drives for PREMA and Marcus Armstrong who drives for DAMS made it fourth and fifth.
Now onto qualifying… Guanyu Zhou has took the first pole position for the first race this season and for the second year in a row!! He stole pole from Lungaard by beating him by 0.003s, in third we have Felipe Drugovich.
There was a red flag near the end of the session and that was due to PREMA’s Robert Schwartzman came to a stop down the pit straight. Leaving the rest of drivers 5 minutes to get a time on the board.
