Doohan stands out at home, the French in the game

Like the F3 a few minutes earlier, the F2 also had an eventful free practice session. Discovering a brand new track, the drivers did not escape the pitfalls like Roy Nissany (PHM Racing) and Jehan Daruvala (MP Motorsport). Both were trapped in the same place, the final bend, but with very different outcomes.

If the two incidents caused a red flag, that of Roy Nissany was more violent since he ended his race in the wall. Jehan Daruvala was able to avoid the worst and remained stuck at the entrance to the pits without damaging his car.

In terms of times, Jack Doohan seems to be happy to ride in front of his family. In the game from his first laps, the Australian moved into second in the last quarter of an hour, successively improving his passages. After a 3^e red flag caused by the inconsequential exit of Ollie Bearman (Prema) at turn 1, the event local monopolized the 1^st position with a time of 1'28"989 making him the only one under the 1'29 mark.

Behind the protectedAlpine Academy, we find two French people. In the tough at the start of the season, Isack Hadjar got his Australian stay off to a good start. The member of Red Bull Junior Team finished 3^e by a little more than 3 tenths after having led the debates for a while. Victor Martins left with 3^e chrono. To find traces of the last two representatives of France, you have to go down to the 14^e and 20^e ranks with Theo Pourchaire (ART Grand Prix) and Clément Novalak (Trident). The first finished at 1“2, the second at 2“4.
