The results of F3 qualifying at Silverstone: an incredible finale sees Browning snatch pole at the last second! Minì not doing so well: he’s in 14th place.
Was it a lucky qualifying in the wet? It certainly seems so for Luke Browning: starting dry, then rain, and back to dry conditions, with Noel Leon initially leading but Browning clinching pole on his final attempt when qualifying seemed already over. Behind him are Esterson and Meguetounif in second and third.
Initially, it was a great qualifying session for the Italians fighting for the championship: Minì was 3rd, just 87 thousandths behind Leon (who was on pole at that moment), while Fornaroli was 6th, ahead of Goethe and Esterson. The good news for them was Luke Browning’s 13th place, setting up a strong position for the championship.
However, rain changed everything: in the final moments, everyone returned to the track, with the only positive being Fornaroli moving up from 6th to 4th. Disaster struck for Gabriele Minì: the Prema driver dropped from 3rd to 14th, significantly impacting his championship standings.
Stenshorne was absent due to disqualification for competing in GB3.
