ROWE Racing stond deze middag bovenaan tijdens de Pre-Qualifying op Spa-Francorchamps dankzij Raffaele Marciello, die de # 98 BMW naar de snelste tijd stuurde. Het Duitse team kan in Spa een tweede grote overwinning op evenveel weekends pakken, na winst in de 24 Uur van de Nürburgring vorige week.
De verschillen tussen de koplopers waren klein aan het einde van de 60 minuten durende sessie. De volledige top 20 zat binnen één seconde. Alessio Rovera reed met de #51 AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors Ferrari de tweede tijd, op 0.021s van Marciello. De Garage 59 McLaren van Marvin Kirchhöfer maakte de top 3 compleet.
De sessie werd iets voor halfweg even onderbroken met de rode vlag toen de #81 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG crashte bovenop de Raidillon. Gabriele Piana kwam zwaar in aanraking met de bandenstapels. De auto liep serieuze schade op, maar de Italiaan kon zelfstandig uitstappen.
De auto’s gaan om 21:15 uur weer de baan op voor de kwalificatie, die zal bepalen welke 20 auto’s morgen deelnemen aan de Superpole.
