Edo Mortara, an early-season Drivers' standings topper, placed his ROKiT Venturi Racing Silver Arrow 02 fourth to make it two in the top four for the Monegasque team. Avalanche Andretti's Jake Dennis and Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein rounded out the top six and incredibly, the top-20 runners sat within eight-and-a-half tenths-of-a-second of one another come the chequered flag on the session.
