Formula 2 – Doohan takes pole position!
Jack Doohan secures his second pole position this afternoon in Bahrain. Théo Pourchaire finishes seventh, Clément Novalak twelfth.
Great week for the Australian driver! After completing his first laps in Formula 1 aboard the 2021 Alpine in Qatar, the Virtuosi driver grabs the pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix!
Under the Catalan heat, the drivers were opting for different strategies. The Australian pilot’s strategy paid off. He was able to take advantage of a less hot and more rubbered track to achieve the pole position in 1.28.612.
Behind him, Juri Vips, who also had a great day (in FP1 with Red Bull this morning), signed the second fastest time with just one qualifying lap. Frederik Vesti, teammate of Théo Pourchaire at ART, achieved a nice third time.
On the French side, it’s a bit more discreet. Théo Pourchaire had to push his ART to try to keep up with the front-runners. In his last lap, he was hindered in the first corner by Drugovich (the Brazilian could lose his tenth position pending investigation). Théo Pourchaire couldn’t do better than seventh.
No worries, in Imola he started from the same spot… a race he eventually won on Sunday morning.
Clément Novalak has signed the twelfth time.
Meet tomorrow at 5:40 pm for the sprint race with Felipe Drugovich currently in pole position.
