The Swede took the top spot with a lap time of 1:00.5151, just slightly slower than his team-mate Kyle Kirkwood from the previous day. Behind Ericsson were some surprises in the top positions, including Rinus VeeKay in the #18 entry and Alex Palou. Nolan Siegel in the #6 Arrow McLaren and Conor Daly in the #76 Juncos Hollinger Racing entries also showed strong performances. Despite initial plans to run the #78, Daly ended up piloting the #76 due to a late sponsorship deal. The session saw brief interruptions due to issues with Will Power’s car and loose track debris, but teams made adjustments overnight to tackle the challenges of the St. Petersburg circuit. Qualifying is up next, where drivers will push the limits on the city streets, often leading to dramatic moments.
