Lotus F1 Juniors Oscar Tunjo and Esteban Ocon topped the timesheets in the two Friday free practice sessions ahead of the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC round at Most.

In the morning session, Josef Kaufmann Racing ace Tunjo managed a best time of 1m31.319s, narrowly edging out championship leader Matt Parry and his Fortec team-mate Jack Aitken by less than 0.03 seconds.

Assen double winner Steijn Schothorst was fourth ahead of Eurocup points leader Oliver Rowland and Gustav Malja. Ocon was seventh ahead of Sam MacLeod, Raoul Owens and Nicolas Jamin.

Driving for the ART Junior outfit, Ocon hit the top in the afternoon though he was two tenths of a second off Tunjo’s morning benchmark. Rowland and Schothorst were second and third with Tunjo fourth.

Jamin was fifth ahead of ART team-mate Andrea Pizzitola. Aitken was seventh and Parry ninth, separated by Jakub Dalewski. Malja completed the top ten.
