Prema's Logan Sergeant claims maiden F3 pole at Silverstone

Logan Sಌergeant soared to his maiden FIA Formula 3 pole position at Silverstone, pipping Red Bull Formula 1 junior Liam Lawson.
The Prema driver left it late to rocket to the top of the timesheets on a 1m46.257s, a time that was just 0.058s faster than Lawson, who claimed his best qualifying result ♍to date for Hitech Grand Prix.
Early F3 championship leader Oscar Piastri had sat on provisional pole heading into the final🧔 flying laps but was unable to usurp his Prema teammate and was left to settle with a third-place starting slot for the opening race at the British Grand Prix venue.
Brit🔯on Max Fewtrell was fourth-fastest in his Hitech Grand Prix machine, less than half a second off pole posi༒tion.
♒The third Prema of Frederik Vesti held P5, ahead of ART Grand Prix’s Sebastian Fernandez, HWA Racelab driver Jake Hug♚hes, and Trident’s Lirim Zendeli.
Alexander Smolyar, who claimed his maiden F3 pole last time out in Hun�ꦗ�gary, was ninth-quickest, just one tenth clear of Clement Novolak, who completed the top 10 for Carlin Buzz Racing.
Just missing out on a spot in the top 10 was Trident’s David Beckmann and Theo Pourchaire, who has already notched up two impressive vi💧ctories for ART Grand Prix at the age of just 16.
The two MP Motorsport drivers of Bent Viscaal and Richard Verschoorಌ will line up from 13t💃h and 14th on the grid, as Calan Williams rounded out the top-15 positions.
The opening race of the S🎃ilverston🍒e weekend takes place at 9.25am BST on Saturday.
