The driver Francisco Macedo has achieved the best time during the second day of FIA Formula 3 testing, with a morning lap that allowed him to stay at the top of the time table throughout the day. Representing the team Van Amersfoort Racing, Macedo was dominant on the Jerez track.
Morning The sessions began with unforeseen events when driver Alessandro Giusti was forced to stop in the pit area due to technical issues, causing him to miss the rest of the morning session. His teammate, Pedro Clerot, was the first to stand out with a time of 1:31.659 before the session was halted again due to an accident involving Alexander Abkhazava at turn 3.
After the resumption, Ernesto Rivera from Campos Racing quickly moved to the front with a time of 1:31.584. Taito Kato was next to set a time, surpassing the Mexican with a record of 1:31.463, while Keanu Al Ahzari occupied second place just 0.003s behind the Japanese driver.
With the aim of continuing his good form, James Egozi climbed to the top position before Dion Gowda achieved a time of 1:30.935, a mark that gave him a slight advantage over his teammate. Later, Nico Maccagnani surpassed Kato with a time of 1:30.302, seeming that the competition remained intense until Macedo’s impressive final time of 1:29.766 decided the session.
The morning podium was completed by Enzo Deligny and Clerot, who showed consistent performances for their respective teams. Behind them were Seewooruthun, Colnaghi, Al Ahzari, Kato, Olivieri, Powell, and Egozi close to the top ten.
Afternoon After missing the morning session, Giusti was the first to post a representative time in the afternoon, with a 1:30.322 putting him at the forefront. Long-duration testing was the priority during most of the afternoon, with teams trying to maximize their laps.
The session was briefly stopped when Miguel Costa had to halt on the track due to a mechanical issue. However, Giusti was not surpassed, concluding the day in first place, followed by Macedo and Jin Nakamura, who consolidated their positions among the top three.
Now, Formula 3 prepares for a five-day break, as the team moves to Barcelona for two new testing sessions.
