His first rolling lap time of 1'55"834 topped the timesheet for much of the session. This time was later bettered by that set by Massimo Pigoli’s Mercedes AMG C63 (1'55"654), posted on his sixth lap.

Bertolini went back out to try to take pole and, though he lowered his time to 1'55"705, he had to be content with second after having a few problems with his EBD system.
