The first 30′ free practice session of the Macau Grand Prix F3 allowed the Swede Marcus Ericsson, reigning Japanese champion, to set the best time. The leader of the team Tom's Toyota (victorious in 2008 with Kunimoto) beat Edoardo Mortara (Signature VW), the duo Brendon Hartley - Daniel Ricciardo (Carlin VW) and the Monegasque Stefano Coletti (Prema Mercedes).

The ART team does not seem to have shown its full potential, Bottas placing 6th, Bird 8th and Jules Bianchi 9th.
Second French driver present, Jean-Karl Vernay (Signature VW) discovered the track this morning and finished 11th.

First of two qualifying sessions at 7 a.m. French time…
