F2 – Günther and Arden finish testing at the front

During the first session of the day, he is the rookie Maximilian Gunther who was the fastest aboard his Arden. Thanks to his time of 1'42''756, the 2016 vice-champion of Formula 3 obtains the best time of the three days of testing. At the end of the morning, he was ahead of Louis Delétraz (Charouz Racing System), still at the front, and the two ART Grand Prix of George Russell and Jack Aitken while Sergio Sette Câmara (Carlin) completed the top 5 in the morning.

During the second session, it was Nirei Fukuzumi's other Arden BWT which moved to the top of the timesheet with a time of 1'43''430, despite a clutch change suffered on same morning. He is 7 tenths ahead of his teammate and Antonio Fuoco (Charouz Racing) who finishes 3e of the session. Sergio Sette Câmara remains in a top 5 completed by veteran Artem Markelov (Russian Time). In the game of productivity, it is once again George Russell who has the most laps covered with 58 loops for this afternoon.

At the end of these three days of testing, Maximilian Günther was the fastest in 1'42''756 thanks to his time this morning and is ahead of Arjun Maini and Jack Aitken, both of whom achieved their best times on Thursday morning. The first non-rookie is Louis Delétraz who finishes 4e.
