As the teams prepared to get the session underway a message came through advising that the session was delayed due to the conditions – with the officials calling to cancel it following a review of the conditions.

Due to the session not being able to be rescheduled it instead has been formed from the classification of free practice.

“Normally I want to get pole position in qualifying, but the conditions are quite bad for driving now. For the race it is a good opportunity for us to start from P1, and it is good for the Japanese fans with Nobuharu-san also in P1 from yesterday: I am used to racing in the rain from Japan, and I will look for a good result,” said Fukuzumi.

The Feature Race is set to take place at 17.50 local time today.
