Runn💮ing in Group A, Pourchaire’s 1m20.985s proved to be untouchable as the ART Grand Prix driver was over 0.5s clear of his nearest challenger - Oscar Piastri.

Robert Shwartzman got closer than his Prema teammate in the second ✱qualifying group, topping Group B, although he was still over 0.4s down on Pourchaire’s impressive benchmark.

Due to how tight a𝔉nd narrow the Monaco circuit is, qualifying was split into🌟 two groups.

Those who race with even numbers took 🍨part♐ in Group A, while the odd-numbered drivers were in Group B.

To av𒐪oid any unfair advantages such as track temperatures or weather, the times of𓃲 each session will not be compared against each other to make the grid.

Thus, Pourch🍬aire will line up on pole position as he set the fastes﷽t time in qualifying, while Shwartzman will start second, having topped Group B.

Piastri will s🦩tart Saturday’s feat💮ure race third having set the second-fastest time in Group A, ahead of the second-placed driver in Group B - Robert Shwartzman.

The rest of the grid ꦓis sorted in the same way with Juri Vips set to start from fifth in the lead Hitech GP c🐻ar.

Ralph Boschung, Roy Nissany and Christ🌸ian Lundgaard rounded out the top eight.

UNI-Virtuosi Racing will b🧸e left disappointed with its qualifying showing in the principality, Felipe Drugovich and Guanyu Zhou managing ninth and tenth respectively.

While there is no F1 action on Fridays in Monaco, the first sprint raceꦜ will take place in the afternoo🍰n.

The top ten f☂rom qualifying will be reversed and that will decide the grid 🐻for the first sprint race.
