F2 Saudi Arabia: Ferrari junior Bearman scores pole
Bearman will be starting from the front of the grid in Jeddah in an attempt to revive his F2 championship aspirations after a disappointing performance in Bahrain a week ago. He claimed pole position with a time of 1m 42.217s, with Kush Maini alongside him on the front row. The drivers in Saudi Arabia had the chance to improve their times as the session progressed, unlike in Bahrain where the tires were good for only one lap. Zane Maloney had a tough qualifying session, encountering issues with his car and eventually stopping on track. Despite initial leaderboard changes, Bearman and Bortoleto secured the front row for the race. The rest of the grid includes strong contenders like Jak Crawford, Victor Martins, and Paul Aron in promising positions. Franco Colapinto overcame an early setback to qualify 13th.
