There was some drama for Championship leader Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Leopard Racing) though, the Italian encountered an issue onboard his Honda and was unable to set a lap time. Can the team solve the problem before a crucial Japanese GP race?
That battle begins at 12:00 local time (GMT+9), don’t miss a single lap of the action!
