The Swiss driver put in the fastest time of the morning session. A 1:41.872 was able to put his MP Motorsport car on top for the first session of the day as Jehan Daruvala, who topped two sessions in the previous two days, put in a lap time one and a half tenths slower which placed him in second.

Juri Vips split the two Carlin drivers as his lap time was 0.140s slower than Daruvala but 0.157 quicker than Dan Ticktum as the Estonian finished the morning in third and the second Carlin of Ticktum ended the morning in fourth.

For yet another session, Liam Lawson was the quickest rookie and was only two-thousands slower than Ticktum and came fifth with fellow rookie Larim Zendeli seven-hundredths slower than Lawson and was sixth. Day two’s morning session quickest driver, Ralph Boschung was seventh-fastest ahead of Campos teammate, Logan Sargeant, by five-hundredths.

Guilherme Samaia and Christian Lundgaard rounded off the top ten in ninth and tenth with the latter eight-tenths adrift of Deletraz.

Felipe Drugovich followed in 11th, only two-thousands behind the time set by the ART driver ahead of him. Shwartzman was the best performing Prema in the morning as he finished 12th. Marino Sato was 13th and the first driver to be over a second behind the fastest time of the session.

Clement Novalak switched over to the UNI-Virtuosi team for day three as he looked to get to grips with the car and came 14th with Theo Pourchaire one and a half tenths behind him in 15th. Bent Viscaal jumped into the Trident as Novalak tested the UNI-Virtuosi for the day and he ended the morning in 16th.

Oscar Piastri could only muster up a 17th-place finish with Roberto Merhi in 18th, David Beckmann in 19th and Matteo Nannini in 20th.

The DAMS pair of Marcus Armstrong and Roy Nissany finished at the back of the field with the latter being over six seconds slower than Deletraz.

Drugovich looked to have found his feet in the UNI-Virtuosi car after his switch from MP Motosport as his lap time of 1:42.435 was the quickest in the afternoon session.

Piastri got back to near the top of the timings as he was three and a half tenths behind the UNI-Virtuosi in second and Armstrong trailed the F3 champion by five-hundredths and splitting the Prema drivers with Shwartzman in fourth over four-tenths behind the Australian.

Novalak jumped from 14th in the morning to fifth as he was nearly a second slower than Drugovich and one and half tenths behind Shwartzman. Samaia was the lead Charouz as he finished the second session in sixth. Nissany jumped all the way from 22nd to seventh and was only four-hundredths slower than Samaia.

Merhi and Beckman were eighth and ninth as Nannini rounded out the top ten. Zendeli missed out on the top ten by three-tenths as he finished 11th. The morning session’s fastest man, Deletraz, was 12th with rookie Lawson in 13th. Sargeant came 14th, Sato in 15th, Vips in 16th, Pourchaire in 17th and Lundgaard in 18th.

The rapid Carlin cars of Daruvala nd Ticktum finished the second session in 19th and 20th which was the back of the field because Boschung and Viscaal did not come out in the afternoon as their cars experienced issue which kept the pair in the pit-lane and out of the car.
