Zendeli claims F3 pole at Mugello season finale

Lirim Zendeli will start the final Formula 3 feature race of the season from pole position at Mu🔯gello after seeing off title contender Logan Sargeant to top spot.

In a tightly contested qualifying session, Zendeli’s ꧂1m35.328s was enough for the German to take his second pole of the season and the four ex⛦tra championship points. 

Going into this weekend, Osc♔ar Piastri leads the standings on 160 points, eight💜 ahead of Sargeant.

Sargeant qualified in second but will drop three places after picking up a grid penalty following a collision🐲 with Prema teammate Frederik Vesඣti in the Monza sprint race, while Piastri could only manage 11th and will drop five places for also picking up a penalty for forcing Trident’s David Beckmann off the road and ultimately ending his race - again in the second Monza race.

This means𓃲 Jake Hughes will line up on the front row of the grid alongside 🔥Zendeli.

Frederik Vesti qualified fourth but will mov🍎e up a place thanks to Sargeant’s penalty, just ahead of Enzo Fittipaldi.

Sebastián Fernández and Théo Pourchaire were sixth and seventh fastest𝓡, with Pourchaire having an outside chance of the title as he’s currently third in the championship, 24 points off Piastri.

David Beckmann, Dennis Hauger and Aleksandr Smolyar completed the to༒p t🧔en, ahead of Piastri who will drop to 16th on the grid as he looks to secure the title this weekend. 

Jack Doohan was only 12th in the second HWA car ahead of Liaﷺm Lawson, who struggled throughout qualifyi🍨ng - running through the gravel trap in the closing stages.

Richard Verschoo🎐r and Alexander Peroni completed the top 15, 0.7s separating first to 15th.
