Despite a minor setback at the chicane, the young driver impressed with his control and clear communication with the team, hinting at a promising future at Red Bull.

The session also featured standout performances from other drivers, such as Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli and Alpine’s reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa, who delivered impressive lap times.
