Formula 2 News: Bearman takes pole in Jeddah
Ferrari Formula 1 junior Oliver Bearman has won the pole position for the Formula 2 feature race in Saudi Arabia.
Bearman’s lap of 1m 42.217s effort was enough to beat Invicta’s Kush Maini by 0.025s
Jak Crawford improved on his final attempt to take third for DAMS, while Victor Martins claimed fourth ahead of Enzo Fittipaldi, who could face investigation for crossing the pit entry line earlier in the session.
Bearman’s team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli was sixth in front of Hauger, Isack Hadjar and Richard Verschoor, while Aron ended up 10th after failing to improve on his last effort.
