Abu Dhabi GP3 test: Luca Ghiotto and Antonio Fuoco lead final day

After trying out Koiranen and Carlin's cars earlier in the week, European Formula 3 race winner Fuoco switched to ART for the final day and lapped in 1m55.327s in the first session.

That put him two tenths clear of Euroformula Open convert Alex Palou, driving for Trident.

Swiss teenager Ralph Boschung, who has raced in ADAC Formula Masters this year, completed the top three for Thursday and Friday pacesetter Jenzer, ahead of last year's McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award winner Matt Parry.

Fuoco improved his time by a tenth in the afternoon, but was denied the top spot by Ghiotto - back with Trident for the test after racing for the team at Spa and Monza.

Seb Morris set a quicker time than Ghiotto, only for his laps to be disallowed when his Status car was found to be underweight.

Matheo Tuscher, Ed Jones and Jimmy Eriksson rounded out the afternoon top five.

Both sessions ran fairly incident-free, interrupted only by red flags for Riccardo Agostini and Kouresh Khani parking their cars during the morning.
