The session, interrupted for 15 minutes due to two red flags, allowed the Prancing Horse crews to complete a total of 45 laps in favorable weather conditions and a temperature of 21°C.
The drivers of the No.50 499P made up of Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen recorded a best lap time of 1'48''121'' (1''167 behind the leaders in the No.7 Toyota). The laptime was delivered by Antonio Fuoco, who stayed behind the wheel of the 499P for 10 laps, after the turn of his Danish companion Nielsen, who had started the session leaving the cockpit after 15 laps.
The No. 51 Ferrari secured fifth, piloted by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi, by virtue of the fastest lap (1'48''606), set by the Piedmontese three-time world champion Guidi, who took over from his British companion Calado; both completed 13 laps in the afternoon.
