But it was Estonia’s Paul Aron who grabbed his 3rd pole of the season, as he looks to improve upon a difficult weekend last time out in Hungary

Alongside him on the front row will be fellow F2 rookie Gabriele Bortoleto, with championship leader Isack Hadjar starting 3rd.

Hungary feature race winner Kimi Antionelli qualified 5th while his teammate Ollie Bearman could only manage P15.

It was a disappointing session for Victor Martins, as the Alpine Junior driver brought out the red flags early on in qualifying as his car came to a halt, meaning that he will start from the back for both races.

His teammate Zak O’Sullivan faired a little better, qualifying P10 to secure reverse grid pole for tomorrow’s sprint race.
