In the tabloid-style format, Envision Racing’s Robin Frijns emerged as the fastest driver in the FP3 session preceding the second race of the Misano E-Prix double-header. The Dutch racer clocked a time that broke the one minute sixteen seconds barrier, edging out Pascal Wehrlein by a mere seven hundredths of a second. NEOM McLaren’s Jake Hughes, who finished fourth in qualifying before being disqualified, showcased impressive speed, hinting at a promising qualifying session ahead. Jaguar TCS Racing’s Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans secured the fourth and fifth spots respectively, while Antonio Felix da Costa, aiming for a strong comeback after a rollercoaster Saturday, claimed the sixth position. However, da Costa’s victory from 14th place was later nullified due to a technical infringement. Jean-Eric Vergne, still aggrieved by a five-second penalty he deemed unjust, settled for seventh place, with the DS Penske car displaying strong potential for today’s race.

Oliver Rowland, who inherited the win from da Costa and currently leads the Drivers’ Championship, finished eighth, while Nyck de Vries of Mahindra Racing secured a commendable ninth place, indicating that today’s race could be anyone’s to win. Sebastien Buemi rounded up the top ten, with all drivers within half-a-second of Frijns’ impressive time.
