Bailly dominates Portimao practice

He dominated the session, setting three times faster than anyone else's best lap and finished eight tenths of a second clear of second-placed Nicola de Marco.

Ricardo Teixeira was third quickest on home soil, benefiting from the experience of his GP2 races at the Algarve circuit last year.

Philipp Eng, championship leader Jolyon Palmer and Jack Clarke completed the top six in a quiet session, with Mihai Marinescu's early spin the only moment of drama.
