The star of FP1, Pedro Acosta was doing very little to🔯 dampen the hype as he moved three tenths clear of team-mate Augusto Fernandez.

While lap times continued improving, ⛄Fernandez and Acosta remained at the very front of the field.

🐓Miller momentarily went quickest but Fernandez responded with a time of 2:06♛.834s.
