Abbi Pulling tops the time sheets at Marina Bay, a circuit which is new to the F1 Academy calendar.

At the start of the session, a brief yellow flag was brought out as wildcard entry and British F4 driver Ella Lloyd stopped on track momentarily due to a technicality issue. Every time she braked, the car would seem to cut out, not allowing her to drive around the track properly and continuing to stop on track each time she braked. She was able to drag her car back to the pits where the mechanics would begin to work on the issue. 

Not long after Lloyd returned to the pits, there was another yellow flag. This time it was caused by fellow British driver Jessica Edgar. She had spun and tapped her rear wing on the barrier which caused significant damage. She was also able to return to the pits as the rear wing damage was the only problem with the car. 

Lloyd was sent back out on track after the technicality issue was fixed. This was proven to be untrue as pretty much straight away as she was stopped on track yet again as she continued to struggle with the same issue. 

Towards the end of the session, Lia Block had a small spin which was shortly followed by Lloyd spinning and tapping the barrier.
