Mucke Motorsport’s Robert Shwartzman and Prema Powerteam’s Guanyu Zhou topped the two respective qualifying sessions for round two of Italian F4 at Monza.
Shwartzman’s pole is his first in single-seater racing, while Zhou had previously topped the second qualifying at Vallelunga.
In both Monza sessions it was series newcomer Lando Norris who claimed second, securing two front row spots for his Mucke debut.
The Brit, in fact, came extremely close to stealing pole off Shwartzman in the first session, but ended up less than a hundredth short.
Zhou took third, while fourth for David Beckmann meant the first two rows for race one will feature three Mucke cars.
Joao Vieira took fifth, with ex-Formula Renault racer Marcos Siebert in sixth, leading the Jenzer charge.
Championship leader Ralf Aron took seventh, ahead of Matteo Desideri, Mike David Ortmann and Mauricio Baiz.
In session two, Norris was again close to stealing pole but ended up splitting Prema teammates Zhou and Aron.
Shwartzman and Siebert in fourth and fifth were within two tenths, ahead of Beckmann and Baiz.
Yan Leon Shlom qualified eighth, with Vieira and Ortmann making up row five.
