Race winners in the previous round – ART Junior’s Levin Amweg and Fortec’s Seb Morris – ended the two respective practice sessions of Formula Renault NEC on top at Hockenheim.

The morning practice saw 19-year-old Amweg take the first spot, edging championship leader Steijn Schothorst and Swedish youngster Gustav Malja by a tenth.

The fourth position was taken by Czech racer Josef Zaruba, closely followed by Louis Deletraz and Caterham junior Morris. Karting graduate Ben Barnicoat ended up as the best car rookie, while Robin Hansson, Ukyo Sasahara and Jake Hughes completed the top ten.

In the second outing, it was Morris who set the overall fastest time of the day. Schothorst was once again second with Barnicoat close behind third.

Amweg ended up in fourth, beating Raoul Owens and Deletraz by only a couple of hundredths. Formula Renault 1.6 NEC champion Roy Geerts was in eighth, followed by Fortec’s Martin Kodric and Josef Kaufmann’s Malja.
