Masters-winner Jules Bianchi claims maiden pole position

30.08.2008: Masters-winner Jules Bianchi claims maiden pole position

Air temperature: 22.8 °C

Asphalt temperature: 25.9 °C

Frenchman Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix, 0:41.668 min) claimed pole position for the 13th season round. At the only 1.929 kilometres long Indy version of the Brands Hatch circuit with its long heritage, he drove the fastest lap time in qualifying. Lining up alongside him on the front row of the grid for tomorrow's race will be Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix, 0:41.780 min). The second grid row will be occupied by the duo Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport, 0:41.782 min) and Sam Bird (Manor Motorsport, 0:41.795 min).

Because of the short track, the 26 drivers were split up into two groups with 25 minutes qualifying time each. In the first group, meant for drivers with even starting numbers, Jules Bianchi came out on top. The Frenchman was followed by Koudai Tsukakoshi and James Jakes (ART Grand Prix, 0:41.899 min). The fastest time in the group for drivers with odd starting numbers was set by Nico Hülkenberg from Sam Bird and Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport, 0:41.809 min). As Bianchi set the outright fastest time, he will be allowed to start from pole position while the drivers from his group will be lining up right behind him.

Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix): "After free practice, I worked on my driving style together with my engineer and I could benefit from that in qualifying. Now, I still have to become quicker in fast corners, where my team-mate Nico Hülkenberg is still better. I am happy with my maiden pole position in the Formula 3 Euro Series. Tomorrow, I want to win my first race in the Formula 3 Euro Series, too."

Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix): "I lost two tenths of a second in the second sector only, which I just can't understand. I was really quick in the first sector and in the third one, it went pretty well, too. Only the central part didn't go as planned, no matter what I tried. Had I not lost so much time there, I would now be on pole position."

Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport): "I am happy with my third place on the grid. With my first set of tyres, I still had a lot of oversteer. With the second set, I got a really good lap, but then the car started to oversteer again."
