F3 - Prema duo Ilott and Günther takes pole positions

Sport news

It took a few minutes before all the drivers went out for qualifying. Halfway through the session, Jake Hughes (1m32.083s) was on top while points’ leader Lando Norris (1m32.163s) was listed in ninth place. Only one minute later, the Brit, who is supported by the McLaren Formula 1 team, was the new leader. However, he wasn’t able to increase his pace in the same way some of his rivals were and therefore was no longer in contention for the top position. Eventually, it was Ilott (1m31.685s) who claimed first place and demoted Günther (1m31.956s) to second. Guanyu Zhou (1m31.967s) and Jake Hughes only moved up into the top positions in the final stages and concluded the session in third and fourth place respectively. Pedro Piquet (1m32.090s) and Joel Eriksson (1m32.135s) also ended up ahead of Lando Norris. Tadasuke Makino (Hitech Grand Prix, 1m32.203), Nikita Mazepin (Hitech Grand Prix, 1m32.215s) and Ralf Aron (Hitech Grand Prix, 1m32.246s) rounded out the top ten.

In the ranking of the second-fastest laps, Maximilian Günther (1m31.961s) was unbeatable. This time, it was Callum Ilott (1m31.974s) who slotted in behind him. Zhou (1m32.112s), Hughes (1m32.133s), Eriksson (1m32.143s), Norris (1m32.194s), Makino (1m32.308s), Mazepin (1m32.329s), Piquet (1m32.353s) and Aron (1m32.376s) ended up in third to tenth place behind the Prema duo.
