With the qualifying session ending under a red flag, this Sunday morning was cut short by a minute, but saw the same driver emerge in first place despite everything. Italian Mattia Colnaghi confirms that the momentum is in his favor, and is in ideal conditions to claim another victory this late morning in Eurocup-3, having been deprived of it this Saturday due to a ten-second penalty received after the finish.

Behind the MP Motorsport driver, the top three remains unchanged, as Mikhael Belov (Allay Racing), third the day before, set the second fastest time, just 3 thousandths of a second off the reference time. Third-placed, the poleman's teammate, Valerio Rinicella, will also try to overtake his opponent in the hope of doing at least as well as in Race 14.

Positioned outside the top 10 yesterday, and very unfortunate in the race, forced to retire on the last lap, the Frenchman Jules Caranta managed to distinguish himself further. Inheriting the fifth fastest time in this session, the Campos driver is now only half a second behind the leaders, and could count on less traffic than the day before to reach the finish. For him, hopes are allowed, while his teammate, also followed by Red Bull This season, Ernesto Rivera has not managed to break away from the pack. Twelfth, the championship leader before arriving at Assen, could well be seriously behind at the end of the race if he does not manage to make up ground.

Race 2 will start at 11:10 a.m. (French time).
