Gianluca Petecof spun his Campos between Turns 2 and 3, coming to a halt in the gravel trap and thus causing the third red flag of the morning session.
Lirim Zendeli and Roy Nissany caused two further red flags in the afternoon session on a stop-start day to testing in Spain.
Day 2
Verschoor was the man to beat on day two of the test as he continued his good form from the opening round in Bahrain.
The Dutchman finished fifth in the second sprint race and then followed up with a fourth-place in the feature race at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Ralph Boschung was second fastest for Campos, 0.194s off Verschoor, just ahead of Drugovich.

Dr Helmut Marko says Red Bull junior driver Jehan Daruvala will not be guaranteed an F1 seat even if he wins this year’s Formula 2 Championship.
Daruvala, 22, is among the leading contenders to follow Mick Schumacher as F2 title-holder, although Red Bull also have Liam Lawson from their driver development programme – which is headed up by Marko – in the early reckoning.
After the first of eight rounds in the series, all of which comprise three races, Lawson is second in the standings behind Renault academy prospect Guanyu Zhou with Daruvala two points further behind in third.
