Sorensen claims another pole

Lotus driver Marco Sorensen took his second Formula Renault 3.5 pole position of the weekend at Spielberg on Sunday.

The Dane, who won race one comfortably on Saturday, snatched the top spot from Tech 1's Nigel Melker at the end of the session.

Race one runner-up Melker held on to his front row spot despite having his best lap taken away for speeding in the pitlane.

The front of the grid continues to follow Saturday's race result at the start of the second row, as Kevin Magnussen will line up third for DAMS just behind his two fellow podium finishers from race one.

The championship leader will be joined on row two by his main title rival Stoffel Vandoorne, while Will Stevens - who is on the verge of overtaking Antonio Felix da Costa for third in the points, completes the top five.

Da Costa salvaged eighth as his difficult weekend on Red Bull's home circuit continued.

The Portuguese racer came to a halt before the end of the pitlane when the session started, and then spent the rest of the session trying to get near the pace of the front-runners before having to settle for a berth on the fourth row with a late effort.
