Sargeant quickest on final day of post-season F3 test
American driver Logan Sargeant topped both sessions of the final day of FIA Formula 3 post-season testing at Valencia for 2019 teams’ champions Prema Racing.
Both sessions were hit by rain, and Sargeant’s best lap of the day - set in the morning - was far adrift of the 1m21s delivered on the second day of the test on Monday.
Sargeant’s lap times denied ART Grand Prix’s Renault Formula 1 junior Christian Lundgaard a clean sweep as he had been fastest on Sunday and Monday.
Lundgaard set the second-quickest time of the day, ahead of HWA’s Jake Hughes and Lundgaard’s ex-ART teammate Max Fewtrell, now at Hitech Grand Prix for the test.
Trident’s Devlin DeFrancesco and Prema’s Enaam Ahmed completed the top six from the morning session, ahead of Hitech's Dennis Hauger.
Dan Ticktum was eighth-fastest for Carlin ahead of Formula Regional European champion Frederik Vesti in the third Prema Racing car and MP Motorsport's Bent Viscaal.
Sargeant’s afternoon lap would have put him seventh overall, and put him ahead of Vesti, Viscaal, Fewtrell and Hughes.
Sophia Floersch joined the test for the third day with HWA, the outing marking her first experience of the new FIA F3 car. She set the 20th quickest time in the morning and 27th in the afternoon.
HWA has a TBA entry for Macau, but it has not yet confirmed who that driver will be. Floersch had crashed heavily at Macau last year, but has confirmed she wants to race there in the future.
