HTP Junior Team’s Marvin Dienst rebounded from two low-scoring previous rounds in ADAC F4 to claim double pole for the Lausitzring round.

The former points leader, who won at Lausitz in predecessor series ADAC Formel Masters last year, dominated his part of qualifying, comfortably bettered Joseph Mawson‘s Group 1 benchmark.

Mawson held provisional pole after the first session, with Janneau Esmeijer less than a tenth off to claim second in group.

Mucke duo of Robert Shwartzman and David Beckmann followed in third and fourth, while Mawson’s VAR teammate Harrison Newey ended the group in fifth.

However, it took Dienst less than half of the time allotted for Group 2 to improve upon the earlier benchmarks.

And, after the session was interrupted by a red flag for Michael Waldherr, Dienst went even better, putting in two laps good enough for pole.

Championship leader Joel Eriksson limited the potential damage to his points gap in second, while Tim Zimmermann – yet another ADAC Formel Masters graduate – was third.

Mike David Ortmann took fourth-in-group for Mucke, while Motopark’s 15-year-old rookie Jannes Fittje took fifth and will start from a personal-best ninth place.

The top five on the grid remains unchanged on second-best times, albeit Beckmann moves up to sixth past Shwartzman, who also drops down behind yet another Mucke teammate Ortmann.

Fittje and Newey will again make up row five.
