Daniil Kvyat dominates Hockenheim test

Red Bull junior Daniil Kvyat dominated the second day of the Formula 3 European Championship test at Hockenheim to set the fastest time over the two days of running

The Russian set the overall best time in the Thursday morning session, and his Carlin Dallara-Volkswagen set no fewer than five laps quicker than anyone else in the afternoon too.

Both sessions began in wet conditions, before gradually drying out.

Kvyat, who has yet to win an F3 race but is a title contender in the GP3 Series, headed Carlin team-mate Jordan King in the morning, and King's time was enough to keep him second overall on the day.

Current championship runner-up Felix Rosenqvist was third fastest in the morning and on the day, with Sven Muller continuing his impressive switch to the Van Amersfoort Racing team by going second in the afternoon with a time good enough for fourth overall.

It was a good day for the Dutch VAR team, with its second car of Dennis van de Laar fifth ahead of Andre Rudersdorf, the German showing by far his best form of his maiden European F3 season with Ma-Con.

The Prema Powerteam challenge was headed by championship leader Raffaele Marciello, who was seventh fastest overall.

Kevin Korjus did a solid job to go 13th fastest after replacing Wednesday pacesetter Alexander Sims in T-Sport's Dallara-Nissan. He was on what looked like a much quicker lap, setting a purple time in the second (and longest) sector, when he was forced to abort the lap.

New Fortec Motorsport recruit John Bryant-Meisner ended the day 19th fastest, although the team's Pipo Derani was forced to miss the test due to commitments at home in Sao Paulo.
