Formula 2 saved qualifying on Friday afternoon and this was a prey for Guanyu Zhou. The Chinese driver drove an excellent lap and kept Christian Lundgaard behind him. The fastest Dutchman was Richard Verschoor.

Alpine juniors dominate

Zhou was only 0.003 seconds faster than Lundgaard in total. Both drivers are part of the Alpine training program. Rounding out the top three is Felipe Drugovich.

Verschoor did well in qualifying, while a few hours earlier in the day he seemed to have some issues with his MP Motorsport car. The Dutchman will start from position six. Bent Viscaal is back in sixteenth place after suffering engine problems in the pit lane. He may still be penalised for this.
