Robert Shwartzman was next up in the customer #83 AF Corse Ferrari, while Matt Campbell was in fifth, first of the Porsches, in the #5 Porsche 963.
The sister factory Ferrari, #51, was sixth, almost half a second off Fuoco. Pier Guidi had a moment early on as he spun at the Villeneuve chicane, causing a brief yellow flag, but the Italian managed to spin the car around and continue on his way, with no harm to the scarlet car.
Brendon Hartley was seventh in the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, while Callum Ilott was eighth in the #12 JOTA Porsche 963, with Kamui Kobayashi next up in the sister #8 Toyota, and Kevin Estre rounding out the top ten in the #6 Porsche.

Right at the end of the session, Paul Di Resta went off track at Rivazza, and although the Scot kept the #94 Peugeot 9X8 out of the barriers, it needed to be recovered by the marshals. This caused a red flag, but the session was less than a minute towards being finished when the Peugeot driver hit the gravel.
