Rowland, who has a three-place grid penalty for the ninth round of the 2018/19 season, set a best time of a 49.847s on the 1.765km-long street circuit, emerging ahead of a DS Techeetah 2-3 with Jean-Eric Vergne setting the second fastest time, 0.123s slower than the Briton while Andre Lotterer was a further 0.011s adrift. 

Jaguar Racing's Alex Lynn put together an impressive run on his fastest 250kW lap to set the fourth fastest time of the session, 0.195s slower than Rowland while Lucas di Grassi, who topped FP1, completed the top five.

Pascal Wehrlein returned to the top 10 with the sixth fastest time for Mahindra Racing after ending up only 16th fastest in FP1 while Alexander Sims, who briefly held the fastest time in FP2, was seventh, again as the fastest BMW driver after Antonio Felix da Costa, who was 12th, missed the first five minutes of the session.
