Ferdinand Habsburg led a Drivex School one-two in practice at the Red Bull Ring on Friday as the summer break of the EuroFormula Open championship came to an end.

Habsburg, who will be racing in front of his home fans this weekend, was quickest in the second of the two sessions held on Friday, while championship leader Leonardo Pulcini led the way in the first for Campos Racing.

Pulcini set a time of 1:26.758 in the opening session to lead Nikita Troitskiy of Drivex School, who is making his debut for the outfit, with his team competing with two cars for the first time this season.

Diego Menchaca and Julio Moreno ended the morning session third and fourth respectively for Campos Racing ahead of Habsburg, while Antoni Ptak, a surprise winner at Silverstone before the summer break was sixth fastest for RP Motorsport.

Tatiana Calderon was seventh on her return to the championship, with the Colombian racing this weekend for RP Motorsport having earlier in the season competed with Teo Martin Motorsport, and she finished ahead of team-mates Tanart Sathienthirakul and Damiano Fioravanti.

Kevyan Andres rounded out the top ten for Carlin, just ahead of team-mates Colton Herta and Ameya Vaidyanathan.

Habsburg set the pace in the second session with a time of 1:26.097, almost seven-tenths of a second ahead of team-mate Troitskiy, with Ptak and Herta third and fourth ahead of Moreno, Menchaca and Pulcini. Sathienthirakul was eighth ahead of Andres, while Calderon completed the top ten.
