Nico Müller (Trident Racing) and Aaro Vainio (Lotus GP) set the best performance in the two days of the collective tests of the GP3 series in Estoril.

On Tuesday, Müller was quickest ahead of Mitch Evans (MW Arden), who proved to be in good shape, and Portuguese driver Antonio Felix Da Costa (Carlin).

On Wednesday, it was Aaro Vainio’s turn (Lotus GP) to set the pace. The Finn was quicker than Tio Ellinas (Marussia Manor Racing) from Cyprus, and Da Costa who showed a strong potential in Estoril.

Twenty-five drivers were on track on both days.
