Kiwi drivers Marcus Armstrong and Liam Lawson have qualified eighth and ninth respectively for the FIA Formula 2 Championship Feature race at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France. With a reverse top-ten grid for the Sprint Race, Lawson will start on the grid alongside Jehan Daruvala with Armstrong on the second row.
Logan Sargeant left it as late as possible to snatch pole position for the Feature Race in Le Castellet, narrowly edging out Ayumu Iwasa and Frederik Vesti by the slimmest of margins.
Iwasa had held provisional pole entering the final laps and Vesti couldn’t quite match him, ending up 0.023s down on the DAMS driver’s effort. Sargeant pulled out the time though, just 0.006s of it, but that was good enough to put him on pole for Sunday’s race.
Championship leader Felipe Drugovich will start from fourth while home favourite Théo Pourchaire will line up P6, the pair sandwiching Jack Doohan in P5.
