Seven drivers are in one tenth of second. Camponeschi, after the first laps with used tires come back in the track with new tires but his best lap is very far from the top of the standings. He come to the pits and he did the best lap in the very last moment. Max Verstappen (CRG/TM) is very competitive for all the session. Ben Hanley (ArtGP/TM) suffer the trafic and he is not able to express is potential. Daiki Sasaki (Kosmic/Vortex) hit the track in the end of the session with new tires, but due to traffic and due to his personal performance is slower than his team mate Tereza Gromanova (Kosmic/Vortex). Felice Tiene (CRG/BMB) seems to be ok for the races and Davide Forè (CRG/BMB) seems to suffer a bit.
