‘The track today was a bit dusty and the weather windy and hot but it was nice and as soon as I got into the rhythm my lap timing started to going down. I need to fix something and hopefully by tomorrow I can make it. Unfortunately, Abdullah had some problem with his car if not I think he would be on the top position.’ said Mansoor after the practice session.

I think that everybody face the problem with the temperature, I am sure it will be a very exciting race tomorrow’ stated Omran.

Abdullah Al Khelaifi , who had a problem with his Toyota car did the third best lap time, 2:32.103 ‘ I had today some electrical issues and hopefully by tomorrow I’ll be fixing it, usually my timing is better than today that I recorded in the qualifying, and after fixing my problem I will try tomorrow to recover it and get better position for tomorrow race’ Al Khelafi said after the session.

Tomorrow first race will be at 12:45 and the second race at 15:45.
