Meyer Shank Racing’s Felix Rosenqvist delivered a late surge to lead opening practice for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
Running the softer alternate tires, the Swede dropped a stout lap of 1m00.3390s around the 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit to go top of the leaderboard in the final segment of the session in Friday's practice. The performance by Rosenqvist, who made the switch from Arrow McLaren to MSR over the offseason, was a sizable 0.4722s ahead of former team-mate Pato O’Ward. Deployed on a trial basis in St. Petersburg, the field was split into two groups for the opening 75-minute practice.
