Clement Novalak quickest on final morning of FIA F3 Barcelona test

Clement Novalak led a Trident one-two on the second morning of the two-day FIA Formula 3 post-season test at Barcelona.

Novalak, who finished his maiden FIA F3 season 12th in the drivers’ championship with a brace of podiums for Carlin, set his fastest time with just over an hour of the session complete.

His best effort of a 1m31.989s eclipsed Matteo Nannini’s day one-topping time by just under two-tenths of a second.

Red Bull junior Jack Doohan, who topped Monday afternoon’s session,  was 0.158 seconds slower in the second Trident-run car. ART Grand Prix’s 17-year-old Nannini completed the top three.

Igor Fraga – one of five Red Bull juniors at the test – was fourth quickest on his second day testing for Hitech GP. Reigning Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award winner Johnathan Hoggard was fifth for Jenzer Motorsport.

British ace Olli Caldwell, testing for ART after completing his first FIA F3 season with Trident, finished the three-hour session in sixth place ahead of Formula Renault Eurocup points leader Victor Martins – also testing for ART.

Dennis Hauger made it three Red Bull juniors in the top eight halfway through his second day testing with reigning teams champion Prema.

Calan Williams was ninth quickest for Jenzer ahead of David Schumacher, who is testing with Trident today after running for Prema on Monday. Roman Stanek has replaced Schumacher in the third Prema car, having tested for ART on the first day.

Stanek was 17th quickest with his 2019 ADAC F4 team-mate Arthur Leclerc 22nd fastest.
