Aron Canet was among the first to swap from wets to slicks and that meant he pushed everyone beyond the 105% qualifying cut-off for a period of time. However, a crash at Turn 4 saw his Flexbox HP40 machine tumble down the road and Canet himself – who was able to walk away from the spill – slipped to 24th on the timing screen by the end of the session. It was also a character-building morning for the Beta Tools Speed Up squad, with Fermin Aldeguer nearly highsiding on a puddle in pit lane, of all places, when he went out on slicks for the first time, while Alonso Lopez lost significant track time due to a technical problem. They would be classified 18th and 21st respectively, outside the top 14 cut-off for Q2 with uncertain weather ahead.
