Prema Powerteam’s Bruno Bonifacio led the morning session of day one of Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 final pre-season test at Jerez.
The Brazilian set his best time an hour into the session and, despite having brought out a red flag in the latter stages, would end up unmatched at the front.
Josef Kaufmann Racing’s Steijn Schothorst topped the timesheets early on, but it was his teammate Kevin Jorg who ended up being the top-placed driver from the German team, as he took second, just 0.007s off of Bonifacio.
French F4 graduates Anthoine Hubert and Matevos Isaakyan were third and fourth respectively, the Russian setting his time in the final minutes of the session. Alex Albon led Matt Parry in fifth, with Andrea Pizzitola narrowly behind the Welshman in seventh.
Charles Leclerc recorded another impressive top ten result in eighth, with Hans Villemi and Egor Orudzhev rounding out the top ten.
