The name which was not expected was that of Joshua Dufek at the Mugello Circuit. The Swiss driver with Van Amersfoort Racing left all others behind during the penultimate round of the season and surprised everyone by getting better lap after lap, and stopping the clock at 1’47.690 in the first session and then with a 1’47.339 in the second, taking also the third pole thanks to his second best time of 1’47.469.

On the second row, in the first race which is scheduled tomorrow for 1.55pm, will be Sebastian Montoya (Prema Powerteam) and the series leader Oliver Bearman (Van Amersfoort Racing) who ended the session with the exact same time of Joshua Durksen (Muecke Motorsport), but who will start in front of the Paraguayan, having scored his time before. The third row was completed by the German Tim Tramnitz (US Racing), second in the overall standings and needs to make up places early. 0.001 sec is the time between Tramnitz and Kirill Smal (Prema Powerteam) who will start from the fourth row together with Nikita Bedrin (Van Amersfoort  Racing), who was the best of the rookies.
