La Formula 2 return to Montmeló circuit, less than a month after his last presence here for the 3-day test. Waiting for the pilots for the qualifying session a track where the temperatures tend to drop quickly and record the best time It seems a'heroic feat. To succeed in the phantom feat is Oliver Bearman, thanks to an almost perfect ride!
Ollie Bearman pole position chaser
The pilot of the Ferrari Driver Academy, Ollie Bearman. English, after the amazing weekend in Baku in which he conquered the pole , victory in both races, it's over in the rear of the circuit of the principality of Monaco. In Barcelona, however, the music seems to have already changed.
After insuring the first and second position together with his partner, Frederick Vesti, in the session free tests, Bearman he pulled out his claws to be able to grab her second pole position in this category. Accomplice of Ollie's excellent result was the perfect one strategy of the team Prema.
The riders of the Vicenza team they waited to get on the track and they did so 15 minutes from the end of qualifying, while the other cars returned to the pit lane. Avoiding the traffic they manage to set top 10 times, but there is still time. With one minute to go, Bearman he crosses the finish line, with a time of 1:23.546 which earns him the pole position snatched by 0.777sa Fittipaldi.
Pourchaire: will the penalty come?
In the 29 minutes leading up to Bearman's pole position, many cherished the dream of starting from first place. Between these Enzo Fittipaldi, pilot of Rodin Carlin, who was the first to set the fastest time. Question and answer of times then between Dennis Hauger and the Australian jack doohan, to have the better of the two is the Red Bull Junior Driver.
The Norwegian Piles however, after the provisional pole lap, decides to relaunch to further improve his time and cover his back in case of an attack on the first position. But Hauger is forced to give up, when is in front of Théo Pourchaire which widens the curve finding itself in the trajectory of the MP driver. Perhaps the Frenchman hadn't seen it or been told to pass it on, albeit an unintentional one, this mistake it could cost him an impeding penalty.
Unfortunate too Zane Maloney, which after the super podium obtained in the Feature Race in Monaco, he found himself dealing with the track limits. His excellent third time was deleted precisely for this reason and must therefore start from penultimate square.
La Sprint Race tomorrow will see in the front row Cordeel e Crawford, certainly the action will not miss!
