It may be a new Formula 3 season but it was familiar team colours at the head of the field, but a new driver at the head of the field with Dennis Hauger taking pole position for Prema, his first pole in the series. It wasn’t by much though as Trident’s Jack Doohan was just 6 thousandths of a second behind the Norwegian.
One of the stars of the session was MP Motorsport’s Victor Martins. The Alpine junior produced a lap that was just 6 hundredths of a second off pole position but would have to settle for third. Matteo Nannini for HWA qualified a career best fourth ahead of ART’s Frederik Vesti, making it 5 different teams in the top 5.
Olli Caldwell qualified in sixth in his first race for Prema ahead of Trident’s Clement Novalak. Logan Sargeant qualified in eighth place for Charouz ahead of the third Trident of David Schumacher and Caio Collet for MP Motorsport rounds out the top 10.
Alexander Smolyar for ART qualified in eleventh ahead of the first Hitech car of Jonny Edgar, who takes the reverse grid pole for tomorrow’s first Sprint race. Juan-Manuel Correa for ART returns to racing starting in thirteenth ahead of Roman Stanek and Arthur Leclerc, who would’ve been disappointed with fifteenth.
Here is the result of qualifying from Barcelona.
