Charles Leclerc was third quickest for Van Amersfoort Racing, meaning the top three in the championship were the top three in practice, albeit in a different order, while fourth placed in the championship Jake Dennis was fourth for Prema Powerteam.
Pietro Fittipaldi was fifth fastest for Fortec Motorsports ahead of Motopark’s Sam MacLeod, with a third Prema Powerteam entry of Lance Stroll seventh ahead of Team West-Tec F3’s South African racer Raoul Hyman.

Only thirty-three cars took to the track, with EuroInternational absent having seen Team Principal Antonio Ferrari fail to secure a driver willing to commit to racing in the next three rounds. The team ran Artur Janosz in Monza last time out, but the Polish driver is racing in Austria in the GP3 Series this weekend.
