Prema Powerteam’s Raffaele Marciello and Lucas Auer topped the morning and the afternoon session respectively on day one of European F3’s pre-season testing at Catalunya.

Marciello was quicker by almost 0.5 seconds than his nearest rival in session one, Alex Lynn, who also drives for Prema. T-Sport’s Will Buller was a further 0.2 seconds down, with Mans Grenhagen and Sven Muller completing the top five.

Last year’s vice-champion Pascal Wehrlein finished the first session in sixth, ahead of Auer and Dennis van de Laar. EuroInternational’s Tom Blomqvist and the highest-placed Carlin driver Jordan King completed the top ten.

It was Grenhagen who took the lead early on in the afternoon session, but, with an hour and a half to go, his time was bested by Auer, who stayed on top until the end of the session.

Carlin’s Harry Tincknell was second by the end of it, with Lynn and King taking third and fourth. Wehrlein, Grenhagen and Antonio Giovinazzi took fifth to seventh, with Fortec’s best man Felix Serralles, Mucke’s Felix Rosenqvist and Carlin’s Nicholas Latifi completing the top ten.
