D'Aste keeps pole for second race

Contrary to what was communicated yesterday after the qualifying session and following the Stewards’ decision to drop James Nash ten positions on the grid for both races, Tom Chilton did not inherit pole position on the reversed grid for Race 2.

It will be Stefano D’Aste to start from pole, as he had won this right by qualifying tenth in Q2. The Stewards decided that Nash’s dropping has to be applied after the grids have been published, which means that the spot left empty by him will be filled by the drivers behind.

As a result, Tarquini, Dudukalo, Michelisz and Chilton will all be moved one place up to fill the positions between seven and ten on the grid for Race 2.
