The Arrow McLaren team’s hard work paid off for Callum Ilott, who set the fastest lap during the two-hour test session at The Thermal Club on Saturday morning. Ilott’s time of 1m38.778s narrowly edged out Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou by 0.052s, with Christian Lundgaard from Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing trailing further behind by 0.287s. Ilott praised his team for their efforts in catching up to Palou overnight and expressed satisfaction with their performance. The top six in the session also included Scott McLaughlin, Pato O’Ward, and Marcus Armstrong. A delay in the morning to repair Turn 5 due to surface issues did not impact Ilott’s successful run. The final test session and qualifying are scheduled later in the day, with full results to be revealed soon.
