F2 Day 2 Testing: Lundgaard stays fastest for the day

Carlin driver Dan Ticktum returned to the top of the timesheets on the second day of FIA Formula 2’s Bahrain pre-season test in the afternoon session.

However, his time of 1m42.185s was not fast enough to unseat Christian Lundgaard’s fast time in the morning of 1m41.697s

March 9, 2021

Christian Lundgaard (shown above) set the fastest time in FIA Formula 2 pre-season testing at the lunch break on Day 2 in Bahrain.

The ART Grand Prix racer was the only driver in the 1m42s bracket.

F2 rookie Bent Viscaal, driving for Trident, was 2nd 0.331s behind.

New Zealander Marcus Armstrong was third fastest, only 0.010s shy in the #17 DAMS entry, but ahead of countryman Liam Lawson (Hitech Grand Prix) in fourth.

Yesterday’s pacesetters Dan Ticktum (Carlin) and David Beckmann (Charouz Racing) somehow forgot how to drive today and were only 11th and 14th fastest respectively.
