Honda protege Nirei Fukuzumi set a blazing laptime of 1:31.943 in this morning’s test session at the Hungaroring in Budapest. This put him at the top of the timesheets just six hundredths ahead of teammate Jack Aitken, with fellow ART driver George Russell completing the top 3.

The second day of mid-season testing opened in slightly windy conditions as the cars fed onto the track for a frantic first half of the session. Russell was quick to take control of the timesheets, but Giuliano Alesi improved on the Briton’s time by 9 hundredths to move up to P1.

On the one hour mark Russell reclaimed the top spot, leaving Leonardo Pulcini, Aitken and Fukuzumi to battle for P2. Eventually, the Japanese ace found some extra pace to break the 1m32s barrier and move up to P1, while Aitken also improved to take P2 ahead of Russell, making it an all ART top 3.

The remainder of the session was studious and trouble free. At the chequered flag, Raoul Hyman, Pulcini, Niko Kari, Alesi, Dorian Boccolacci, Santino Ferrucci and Alessio Lorandi completed the top 10.

There will be a one hour break. The pitlane will reopen at 13.00 local time.
