Yamamoto was the only driver to break the 1m22s barrier during four hours of on-track running on Friday, setting a time of 1m21.897s to claim the top spot by 0.112s.
When the pitlane opened at 10am the track still had visible damp patches in places, but it wasn’t long before the circuit was completely dry. However, most of the day’s quickest times were sset during the final 10 minutes of the afternoon session, when drivers equipped the OTS aid on their cars.
