The fastest non-hybrid, the #1 Rebellion, was 1.029secs away from Kamui’s lap as all competitors adjusted to a revised Equivalence of Technology, which sees the TS050 HYBRID now carrying at least 99kg of additional weight compared to its competitors, who also benefit from at least 50% more fuel per lap.

"We're fastest, but it's reallllly unfair guys".
I'll hold off on who's fastest yet. Looking at the timing results, Toyota's did their best on 1-lap flyers, Rebellion's did their best at the end of an 7 and 6 lap stint for the #1 and #3 respectively. Who knows, but I expect it to be closer than what FP2 showed on ultimate times. The long runs look pretty even with times between 1:38's-1:42's for both teams. Ginetta is about a second off the pace.
