Eng fastest in second practice

Philipp Eng dominated the second free practice session ahead of the final Formula 2 rounds of the season at Barcelona

Philipp Eng dominated the second free practice session ahead of the final Formula 2 rounds of the season at Barcelona.


The 19-year-old Austrian was almost a second quicker than his nearest rival thanks to a 1m38.468s lap that was the quickest of the weekend so far.


A shock second quickest was Indian driver Armaan Ebrahim, who has yet to finish higher than sixth this season. He set his best time on his final lap.


Completing the top three was impressive Formula Palmer Audi frontrunner Tristan Vautier, who is making his F2 debut this weekend.


Expected front-runners Andy Soucek, Mikhail Aleshin and Julien Jousse made up the top six.

Jousse spun twice early on and then bringing out the red flags after going off into the gravel at the SEAT hairpin at the same time that Henri Karjalainen was stopping elsewhere.
