The GP2 Asia championship leader set the fastest lap time this morning during Free Practice in Bahrain in a 1:43.529.
Behind the ART Grand Prix driver, Adrian Valles at the wheel of his FMS International car is, once again, very competitive in a 1:44.096, but closely followed by Sébastien Buemi and 2007 Bahrain feature race winner Luca Filippi.
Bruno Senna completes the Top 5, but the iSport International ace only achieved the first half of the Practice session: he spun out of the track at mid-session and was then unable to get back to the pits. Sixth and Seventh place are taken up by Japanese Kamui Kobayashi and Hiroki Yoshimoto, while Fairuz Fauzy, Marco Bonanomi and Jérôme d’Ambrosio complete the Top 10.
The Qualifying session will start at 16:00, local time.
