An hour-long session was added to Thursday's media day to give the teams more time to acquaint themselves with the Gen3 machinery, ahead of the final six hours of running on Friday.
Oliver Rowland set the early pace to kick the session off, but his 1m26.878s was chalked off for track limits - so Robin Frijns stepped up to fill the void with a 1m26.431s to go ahead in the session.
