Maya Weug goes fastest in the second Free Practice session in Miami.

The championship leader set a time of 1:58.545 to top the timesheets ahead of Chloe Chambers and Nina Gademan in P2 and P3 respectively.

Ella Lloyd set the benchmark time, just as she did in the first Free Practice session going fastest with a 2:01.356.

Yellow flags flew when wildcard entry for Round 3 Ava Dobson locked up on cold tyres and ended up going into the back of Lia Block's ART and sent her into a spin at Turn 1, an incident that was decided to be investigated after the session due to causing a collision. 

Maya Weug was the first to break into the 1:59s, but Campos Racing's Chloe Chambers was quick to claim the top spot as hers, putting in a 1:59.647.

Doriane Pin then also joined the party, going 0.080s faster than her former teammate Weug. Reaching the halfway point the top three was as follows: Doriane Pin, Maya Weug, and Chloe Chambers. 

The grid then moved onto their practice runs for tomorrow's qualifying and Aurelia Nobels put in a great lap to put her ART in P4. 

Chambers was quick to storm to the top with her practice qualifying lap with a blistering 1:58.284 and Weug couldn't do enough this time round and settled for second.

However, despite a lock up towards the end of her flying lap, Weug manages to take P1 with a great lap time for the Ferrari academy driver. She finishes ahead of Chloe Chambers who had a great session and was pushing Weug all the way to the chequered flag.

It's all to play for in qualifying tomorrow!
