Theo Pourchaire took a commanding F2 pole position in Bahrain, beating ART team-mate Victor Martins by 0.75s 🏁 Full report ⬇️
The Frenchman, who finished second in the drivers’ standings last year, put in a stunning lap to finish qualifying 0.7s clear of rookie team-mate Victor Martins.
Behind reigning F3 champion Martins, who will line up second for his debut F2 feature race, Richard Verschoor was third for Van Amersfoort Racing and Dennis Hauger fourth for MP Motorsport. Fellow Alpine junior Jack Doohan, who enters the season as a title favourite, ran in the gap in a bid to find more time and went fourth quickest for Invicta Virtuosi Racing with a 1m42.112s.
Pourchaire then put in his pole-clinching lap, with his team-mate slotting in to second and the rest of the field unable to match ART’s superior qualifying pace.
