Having switched to the Prema Junior team ahead of the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps weekend at Imola, Estonian driver Hans Villemi has set the quickest time in overall practice during the third session.
The first practice session was run on a damp track and was affected by a red flag , which was brought out by Jakub Dalewski in the last minutes of the session. Another incident featured Francisco Mora, whose crash forced him to completely sit out practice two.
The fastest time was set by Russian driver Egor Orudzhev, followed by Dalewski, with championship leader Antonio Fuoco in third. His teammate and only potential title opponent Luca Ghiotto took fourth, while Villemi completed the top five.
Practice two was largely incident-free with Ghiotto topping the session, as Japanese Ukyo Sasahara beat Orudzhev by only 0.02s for second. Dario Capitanio was fourth while Alps rookie Matt Parry took fifth for Koiranen.
Estonian Villemi was the class of the field in session three, as he beat the opposition by more than two tenths. Orudzhev was second with Fuoco in third, while Parry and Ghiotto rounded out the top five.
