Barber – Practice 2: Close, close, close heading into qualifying

HMD Motorsports produced a top three lock-out in the final practice session going into qualifying at Barber Motorsports Park on Saturday, with Linus taking P3 – just 0.038s off the pace.

HMD stablemates Danial Frost and Benjamin Pedersen were first and second, fractions ahead of Linus, with Andretti Autosport’s Sting Ray Robb also within a tenth of Frost’s benchmark.

LINUS: “That was another good, decent session. It’s very close at the top and I think with a slightly better application of push to pass I could have been P1, but it doesn’t really matter in practice.

“The baseline set-up is good, but not perfect, and we have a little bit of work to do. At the same time, you don’t want to make too big a shift going into qualifying, so we’ll have to tread carefully. It will be close for pole, so you really have to put together your lap.”

Qualifying takes place at 2:35 pm / 21.35.
