Johnathan Hoggard tops second afternoon of FIA F3 Barcelona test

Johnathan Hoggard was quickest in the afternoon session of the second and final day of the first FIA Formula 3 post-season test at Barcelona.

Hoggard, the recipient of the 2019 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award, set a 1m33.759s to top the session for Jenzer Motorsport. His time was almost 1.8 seconds slower than his 2019 BRDC British F3 title rival Clement Novalak’s benchmark from the morning session. 

Roman Stanek was second quickest in the afternoon for Prema, but over three tenths slower than Hoggard’s best effort. The top three was rounded out by Red Bul junior Dennis Hauger in the sister Prema-run machine.

Hauger’s Red Bull stablemate Igor Fraga continued his strong testing form in fourth place for Hitech GP.

Prema’s Ferrari junior Arthur Leclerc, the Formula Regional European Championship leader, was fifth quickest ahead of ART Grand Prix’s Formula Renault Eurocup points leader Victor Martins.

American Red Bull protege Jak Crawford was seventh fastest for Hitech ahead of team-mate Pierre-Louis Chovet, who contested two rounds at the end of the 2020 FIA F3 season with the British team.

Calan Williams was ninth quickest for Jenzer for the second consecutive session, while Renault junior Caio Collet rounded out the top 10 for MP Motorsport.

Olli Caldwell, testing with ART on Tuesday, caused the only red flag of the day when he spun at Turn 7 with just under 15 minutes of the three-hour session remaining. FIA F3 will return for its second and final post-season test at Jerez on October 27-28.
