The Brazilian later commented on the damage: “It will be fixed for the race, but we’ve lost some important mileage.”

Meanwhile, Mahindra’s Felix Rosenqvist was showing strong pace just before the session was red flagged due to Faraday Future Dragon Racing’s Loic Duval losing a wheel nut, causing his front left wheel to come loose on the track halfway thorough the session.

Earlier on, Oliver Turvey of NextEV NIO had hit the wall at the chicane in turns nine and ten but managed to keep the car in one piece, while Jaguar’s Adam Carroll and Bird had spun earlier at the same spot in turn five.
