In the morning, it was the driver of the new Kiro Race Co team, David Beckmann, who set the best time. The German driver, who we do not yet know if he will be on the grid in just a month for the season opener in São Paulo, has in any case created great publicity for himself. Aboard his fluorescent yellow single-seater, he led a hat-trick of Porsche engines with the factory team drivers in second and third positions, Pascal Wehrlein ahead of Antonio Felix da Costa.
Best time the day before, Maximilian Günther continued to drive at a high pace with his DS Penske by setting the fourth fastest time. With the fifth time of Jake Hughes on Maserati and the tenth of Jean-Eric Vergne, the Stellantis power unit shows that it will have to be counted on this season.
The times did not improve in the afternoon during the race simulations. At the end of this second test session of the day, it was the Mahindra of Nyck de Vries which found itself at the top of the timesheet ahead of the Jaguar of Mitch Evans and the single-seater of his teammate Edoardo Mortara. . The Indian team’s drivers have been in good form since the start of the week in Spain.
There is now only half a day of testing left for all drivers to complete their preparation before the start of the new FE season. In the afternoon there will be a session reserved for female drivers with the presence of Frenchwoman Lilou Wadoux at Jaguar, or the current leader of the F1 Academy Abbi Pulling at Nissan.
