Alex Lynn swept up in the European F3 qualifying at Brands Hatch, setting the quickest time in both sessions to take pole for all the three races of the weekend.

It was a spectacularly successful qualifying for Prema, with Raffaele Marciello and Lucas Auer securing second and third respectively for each of the races, making it three 1-2-3 starts for the Italian team.

Having finished second to Marciello in group A of qualifying one, Sven Muller will be starting race one in fourth place, ahead of Felix Rosenqvist and Harry Tincknell. Tom Blomqvist lines up in seventh, while Michael Lewis, Josh Hill and Jann Mardenborough will make up the top ten. For race two, the grid for which is made up from second-best times in session one, the starting top ten is identical.

Qualifying two saw a huge shunt for Mucke’s Lewis, who was sent to the hospital for check-ups. In the timesheets for the session, Lynn narrowly edged out the other group winner, Marciello, with Auer yet again in third. Tincknell secured fourth, ahead of Rosenqvist and Mans Grenhagen. In seventh, Jordan King will be starting ahead of Muller, while row five will host Hill and Mardenborough.
