The PREMA Racing driver went quickest late on, gaining a nice slipstream down the main straight to set a 1:54.063.
Fellow rookies Isack Hadjar and Kush Maini followed in second and third places respectively. A spin for Arthur Leclerc late on brought an early end to practice as the DAMS driver couldn’t get going again.
