Felix Rosenqvist and Antonio Giovinazzi claimed a pole position each from the second FIA F3 European Championship qualifying session at Zandvoort.

After Giovinazzi had taken his first pole of the season in the earlier first session, two-time Zandvoort Masters winner Rosenqvist pipped the Italian by a mere nine thousandths of a second.

Giovinazzi had led the way in the middle of the session, with a time that remained good enough to give him the race three pole on second-fastest times.

Rosenqvist – who complained post-session of traffic once again – was shuffled down to third in that classification by Markus Pommer, who improves upon third-places for races one and two by making the front row for the first time for race three.

Jake Dennis lines up fourth for both races, with Prema team-mate Lance Stroll just behind him on both occasions.

Championship leader Charles Leclerc was sixth fastest, but drops to 10th on the grid for race three.

Alex Albon, George Russell, Sergio Sette Camara and Maximilian Gunther complete the top 10 for race two. Camara leaps to sixth for race three, followed by Russell, Albon and Ryan Tveter.
