Hockenheim European F3: Antonio Giovinazzi sets practice pace

Antonio Giovinazzi led the way in practice for the second round of the Formula 3 European Championship at Hockenheim

The Carlin driver topped both 40-minute sessions, with a best of 1m33.135s the benchmark time.

Lucas Auer was second fastest in his Mucke Motorsport entry, a late run on fresh rubber vaulting him into second place with a 1m33.337s.

That late lap knocked Max Verstappen down to third, the Dutch rookie having previously sat in second place.

The race winners from the Silverstone opener finished fifth, sixth and seventh, Prema's Esteban Ocon leading Tom Blomqvist (Carlin) and Antonio Fuoco (Prema).

Nicholas Latifi made it three Prema cars in the top 10 with the eighth fastest time, ahead of Carlin duo Jordan King and Ed Jones.
