So Russell was fastest with that 1m16.363s he set earlier on, 0.203s quicker than Piastri in P2. Leclerc 0.520s off Russell in third.

Beganovic did a 12-lap long run on softs at the end with a best of 1m17.78s.
The other rookies had less in the way of time for quali sims, so comparing laptimes is rather pointless.
