Daniel Juncadella (Prema Powerteam), F3 Euro Series and International Trophy champion and last winner of the Macau Grand Prix, failed on the second row with only a thousandth behind the Portuguese. The gaps are very tight since Felix Rosenqvist (Mücke Motorsport) is not ahead Carlos Sainz Jr (Carlin) also with a thousandth lead, the four drivers being grouped in two hundredths.
