Having given one another a twelve-second gap, Fatih arrives and starts his qualifying push lap on his second lap of the qualifying session, pushing for maximum pace going into turn one, showing his experience as he carries very high speed and lets the car go wide as he exits turn two.
From the rear, we can already see Dennis Hauger entering the start-finish straight, and we can say with confidence that Jack Doohan is within the same gap, meaning they are all targeting staggered qualifying laps.
Will Double R Racing copy this system and be influenced by it, or will they keep to their own operation plan? That is a matter for later, as Fatih starts sector two, having set a purple sector one lap time and is on pace to do the same for sector two based on his mini-sector pace.

As Justin commentated on Fatih's lap, somewhere else, someone was watching it happen in real-time.
