After crashing in the closing stages of FP1, Racing Point did a sterling job to get Lance Stroll back out on track with an hour of the session to go. Unfortunately, he was forced to run a series of older parts because there wasn’t enough time to fix some of the damaged new parts, but the team hopes to have a fully updated car again on Saturday.
The session passed largely without incident, Robert Kubica’s spin on cold tyres when he was about to start a flying lap the biggest drama, with almost all teams able to gather plenty of data on their update package as well as on the long runs, as part of their preparations of Sunday’s race.
FP3 will tomorrow at 3:00 PM (Pakistan Standard Time)
