ADAC Formel Masters points leader Mikkel Jensen narrowly saw off closest rival Maximilian Gunther to top free practice ahead of the season’s round three at Lausitzring.
Gunther and Jensen one-upped each other out front several times throughout the 45-minute session, but it was the Dane who finally came out with the upper hand, finding the necessary speed in the closing minutes of the session.
Lotus driver Ralph Boschung was four tenths down on the leader in third, with Mucke’s Kim-Luis Schramm close behind in fourth place.
Joel Eriksson, who looked strong in unofficial testing yesterday, continued an impressive run of form in fifth. Fellow rookie Nico Menzel was sixth, leading Tim Zimmermann and Dennis Marschall.
Marvin Dienst was a quiet ninth, while series debutant Luis-Enrique Breuer claimed tenth place for Lotus.
