SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS | Max Defourny (R-ace GP) lead today’s free practice timetables in front of his maximum rival for the title Lando Norris (Josef Kaufmann Racing). First session was in wet and second in drying track in a circuit in which meteorology is unforecastable.
Sun woke up late in the zone in which Spa-Francorchamps circuit is located. Drivers for Formula Renault 2.0 NEC had a first free practice session under the rain although in second track was drying and sun starting to show up.
At the moment it is Max Defourny who is winning the game over Lando Norris. Despite under rain the difference was minimum, in second free practice the Belgian would lead by more than three tenths.
Seems like their teams have been focusing on building a dry configuration, the most probable option for next sessions this weekend. Tomorrow morning qualifying session will be taking place.
