The top three positions were closely contested, with Guenther's DS Penske setting the fastest time of 1m 15.044s. NEOM McLaren's Taylor Barnard finished second, just 0.072s behind, while Nissan's Oliver Rowland took third, only 0.013s further back.
TAG Heuer Porsche drivers Antonio Felix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein rounded out the top five. Jaguar TCS Racing's Mitch Evans secured sixth, followed by Sam Bird in the second McLaren and Norman Nato in the other Nissan. Notably, Nissan was the only manufacturer with four cars in the top ten.
Dan Ticktum (Cupra Kiro) and Nyck de Vries (Mahindra) completed the top ten. Maserati faced challenges with Jake Hughes stopping early, requiring a car reset, while teammate Stoffel Vandoorne managed 13th place.
Andretti continued to struggle, with Nico Mueller their highest-placed driver in 14th. The session saw disappointing results for some usual frontrunners, with Nick Cassidy's factory Jaguar down in 18th position.
