Alex Smolyar ꦗcompleted the top three for MP Motorsport, just a tenth shy of Stanek's pole time.

Red Bull F1 junior Isack Hadjar continued to impress for Hitech, securing fourth on the grid for Sund🔯ay's main event, a couple of tenths off the pace.

Arthur Leclerc enjoyed his best quali൲fying of the year in fifth for Prema.

Juan Manuel Correa completed the top 1🤡0 on his return to the series 💮in the second ART car.

David 𝔍Vidales w𝄹as 11th at his home event, just ahead of Zane Maloney, who's under investigation for missing the weighbridge in qualifying.

Pepe Marti was the second-highest Spaniard in 16th ahܫead of Reece Ushijima, Rafael Villagomez, Zak O'Sulliva🗹n and Hunter Yeany.
