Alpine Racing Academy member Jack Duane set the fastest time on Day 2 of Formula 2 testing in Abu Dhabi. The Australian completed a lap in the morning session in 1:35.990 seconds. Frederic Vesti was fastest in the afternoon session – 1:36.462 seconds.
In the morning the riders worked on short and long runs. The session was fairly uneventful and was only interrupted once by red flags. About an hour after the start, Victor Martin crashed the car in turn sixteen. Only after the break was the current Formula 3 champion able to continue working on the track.
During the day, the riders focused on working on long stretches of laps, running a simulated race. As in the morning, the session was only interrupted once by red flags. The trigger was the contact between Jack Duane and Kush Maini halfway through the ninth turn. Both riders on this completed job on the track.
The final day of Formula 2 testing will take place on Friday at the Yas Marina circuit.
