Due to the va♕rious red flag stoppages, t🅺he majority of the field's final runs were impacted having used up the best of their tyres.

However, Drugovich was one of the few to ret𒈔urn to the track after the third red flag which was caused by a system error.

Hitech Grand Prix's Marcus Armstrong was on provisional pole position going into the final minutes of the session but a stunning first sector from Drugovich - 0.5s up on Armstrong - 💙meant pole for the Brazilian was a formality.

Drugovich took to the top with a 1m40.4🍃22s to move 0.6s clear of the rest of the 💦field.

Richard Verschoor and Jack Doohan made the most of the coole🍌r track conditions at the end of the session to complete th🍌e top three.

Armstrong was fourth ahead of Ralph Boschung, who looked favo🌜urite for pole without the red flag stoppages.

The Swiss was on course to beat Armstrong's provisi𒁏onal pole time but encountered traffic in the form of ART's Frederik Vesti at the final corner.

Liam Lawson was sixth for Carlin ahead of DAMS' Ayumu Iwasa, Trident's Calan Williams, Hitech's J𓄧uri Vips and Van Amersfoort Racing's Jake Hughes.

It was a disappointing session for Theo Pourchaire, whose car caught fire after 10 minutes of the session,💦 resulting in the first red flag.

The second red flag was caused by Logan Sargeant's shunt in the middle part of the lap, leaving him down in 20th on th🐓e grid.

Cem Bolukbasi didn't qualify after crashing in practice and thus was taken to the hospital for pre-cautionary checksꦍ.
