Pietro Fittipaldi is still the man to beat in qualifying. The Lotus driver has secured a pole position by a half second over his teammate Rene Binder, who has been penalized.

A dream session for Pietro Fittipaldi (Lotus), who took pole position with a time 6 tenths faster than Egor Orudzhev (SMP Racing by AVF) and Diego Menchaca (Fortec Motorsports).

But the session has been longer than usual, since the stewards have penalized René Binder (Lotus) for driving off-limits. The Austrian, who has qualified second, will start seventh and will have to overtake many rivals if he wants to hold his lead in the championship.
