    While Daruvala is not yet confirmed to drive for Prema in FIA F2 championship for 2022 but the Indian did complete the first day with the Italian outfit by topping the standings with a 1m35.435s lap from MP Motorsport’s Drugovich (1m35.793s).

    The two F2 veterans headed rookie Doohan (1m35.851s) in his UNI-Virtuosi Racing machine. ART’s Theo Pourchaire was fourth as he caused a red flag in the morning session, with Carlin’s Liam Lawson in fifth from Campos’ Ralph Boschung.
