Pepe Martí in pole position at home

- Like a destiny. Originally from the Catalan region, Pepe Martí (Campos) took his first pole position in Formula 3.
- Already winner of two Sprint Races this year (Bahrain and Monaco), the Spaniard this time has the opportunity to win his first Main Race. Eager to race in front of his home crowd, the Campos driver did not miss his entry into contention, dominating the timesheet during qualifying this Friday.
- The entire field left for one last attempt, Pepe Martí waited for the final moments to propel himself to the top of the ranking. With a time of 1'27"587, the Catalan left no chance to his rivals, all relegated to at least two and a half tenths, like Taylor Barnard (Jenzer), whose recent form is surprising. Franco Colapinto (MP Motorsport) completed the Top 3 by almost 3 tenths.
- As in Monaco seven days ago when he was not the fastest on the track, championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto (Trident) made up for it. Far from the mark, the Brazilian settled for 6e and maintains hopes of a comeback this Sunday. In any case, he has a great opportunity to increase his lead in the ranking since his runner-up Gabriele Mini (Hitech GP) only signed on 18e time.
- Initially 5e with a lap in 1'27"931, the Italian saw his time erased for non-compliance with track limits at turn 14. He thus fell to 18e place almost a second behind Pepe Martí.
