Callum Ilott was quickest in second qualifying at the Hungaroring on Saturday to secure pole position for race two, while Joel Eriksson will start race three from the front of the field.

Ilott was the only driver to set a lap below 1:35s during the session, with the Prema Powerteam driver setting a best of 1:34.890s, with Eriksson second fastest for Motopark, 0.167 seconds back.

Lando Norris will start third for Carlin, finishing just 0.006 seconds behind Eriksson, with Guan Yu Zhou setting the fourth fastest time for Prema Powerteam, while race one podium finish Jake Hughes was the leading Hitech Grand Prix entry in fifth.

Race one winner Maximilian Günther will start race two from sixth place on the grid ahead of David Beckmann, who is competing for Motopark for the first time this weekend after switching from Van Amersfoort Racing, while the top ten will be rounded out by Joey Mawson, Jehan Daruvala and Nikita Mazepin.

With the second best laps of the session determining race three’s grid, Eriksson’s 1:35.267s was enough for him to grab top spot from Ilott, Norris and Zhou, with the quartet separated by just 0.012 seconds!

Beckmann is an encouraging fifth ahead of Günther, with Hughes, Mawson, Mazepin and Daruvala completing the top ten.
