F2: Rafael Camara takes second consecutive pole in Barcelona

Rafael Câmara went back-to-back in FIA Formula 2 Qualifying, earning his second pole position of the season and topping the order in Barcelona.

The Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy talent set a time of 1m 24.810s on his first attempt to leave the rest chasing a time they could not beat, with team mate Joshua Duerksen getting closest just over a tenth behind.

Alexander Dunne rebounded from a tricky start to the session to wind up third. The Rodin Motorsport and Alpine Academy junior driver had his initial effort deleted for exceeding track limits but managed to go third on his last lap.

Fellow Alpine junior and F2 championship leader Gabriele Minì was another driver to improve late on in the Barcelona session, winding up fourth for MP Motorsport.

Rounding out the top five was Rafael Villagómez for Van Amersfoort Racing as he achieved his best Qualifying result of the season so far.

The session was impacted by a late red flag after Hitech’s Ritomo Miyata spun at the final corner and wound up stuck in the gravel trap.

Nikola Tsolov finished up sixth for Campos Racing, ahead of the second VAR of Nico Varrone.

Fresh from his F1 FP1 outing with Cadillac, Colton Herta recorded his best Qualifying result of the season in P8, with Kush Maini and Noel Leon completing the top 10.
