Further back, Audi appeared competitive throughout almost the entire activity, sharing space with an Alpine in the midfield pack. Racing Bulls and Red Bull completed the top 10, leaving doubts whether the more discreet performance was a consequence of the training programs adopted by the teams or if it really reflects the pace shown in Zandvoort. Gabriel Bortoleto spent a good part of the session within the top 10 and showed consistent performance, mainly using medium tires.
