However, there were a number of red flag interruptions during the day from incidents involving other teams.

Pedro set the fifth fastest time of the day with a 1m17.447 and Juan Pablo took seventh position on the timesheets 1m17.762. Both Juan Pablo and Pedro completed 145 laps in total, covering over 670kms.
