Lance would come on the radio saying that his car was undriveable with issues on corner entry. Despite his difficulties Lance would continue to lap the circuit now with a time of 1m:44.459 but still 14th. After a nine lap run Lance would pit. He would return and the final part of the session would see him complete a longer run on the ultrasoft tyre.

Surprisingly Sergey would improve with a 1m:45.007 to be 14th having done quite a few laps on the ultrasoft tyres. He would drop to 17th and would pit. After a lengthy stop Sergey would return using the used ultrasoft tyres for what no doubt will be a long run on these tyres. Sergey would complete a run on the ultrasoft tyre switching to soft tyres to complete the session.
