UNI-Virtuosi's Felipe Drugovich ended the three days of🎉 Formula 2 testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya fastest overall.
The Brazilian set the fastest&n💧bsp;time of the test on the fin💞al day during the morning session.
Due to the two month break between the first round in Bahrain and the next round in Monaco at the end of May, o꧒rganisers arranged a three-day test in Barcelona.
Drugovich’s 1m27.945s put him nearly 0.2s clear of Prema’s Oscaꦐr Piastri in the overall final classification.
MP Motorsport’s Richard Verschoor, ART’s Christian Lundgaard and Hitech’s Liam Lawson completed the top five.�♐�
Current F2 points leader Guanyu Zhou set the 14th fastest time overall across the three🐻 days of testing.
Day 1
Lundgaard dominated the opening day of testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Cataluny💖a as he topped 🔜both sessions.
The ART Grand Prix𒉰 driver completed 79 laps on the open💙ing day as he got to grips with the Spanish circuit very quickly.

In the morꩵning session, Jehan Daruvala was forced to stop his Carlin at Turn 1, while Piastri caused the second as he stopped at Turn 3.
Gianluca Petecof spun his Campos between Turns 2 and 3, coming to a halt♍ in the gravel trap and thus causing the third red flag of the morning session.
Lirim Zendeli and Roy Nissany caused two further🧸 red flags in the afternoon session on♛ a stop-start day to testing in Spain.
Day 2
Verschoor was the man to beat on day two of the test as he con𝔉tinued his good form from the ൩opening round in Bahrain.
The Dutchman finished fifth in the second sprint race and then followed up with a fourth-place in ♒the feature race at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Ralph Boschung was second fastest fo🦋r Campos, 0.194🀅s off Verschoor, just ahead of Drugovich.
Day 3
Drugovich was the only man to ✅break into the 1m28s bracket in ⛦testing and it came during the morning session of day three.
A 1m2♌7.945s on the medium tyres put him nearly 0.2s clear of Piastri in second - enough to put him fastest of all across the three days of testing.
Lundgaard was third fastest ahead of Laౠwson and Jüri Vips.
Theo Pourchaire was sixth in the 🍒second ART Grand Prix, while Prema’s Robert Shwartzmanﷺ could only manage seventh on day three - 0.5s shy of Drugovich’s impressive benchmark.
