Championship leader Alessio Picariello inherited pole position for race one of ADAC Formel Masters at Oschersleben, having come second in qualifying to Nicolas Beer, who was later demoted due to a suspended grid penalty from Lausitz.
The Dane got the most out of his car in the shorts stints between the red flag interruptions, which plagued the session. With an early stoppage due to an off-track excursion from Martin Gatz preventing many drivers from completing their runs, the session would later then abruptly end after Maximilian Gunther and Hannes Utsch came together on-track with three minutes to go.
As such, Beer topped the session, giving up race one pole to Picariello. For race two, however, Beer is scheduled to keep pole, with Picariello lining up in second.
Ralph Boschung took third in the session and will share the front row with Picariello in race one. Mucke drivers Kremer and Hendrik Grapp will make up row two, ahead of Jason Kremer and Marvin Dienst.
Stephane Kox inherits seventh, with Stefan Riener alongside her on row four, while Callan O’Keeffe and Fabian Schiller are set to complete the top ten.
