Kevin Magnussen claimed pole position for the final feature race of the British Formula 3 season at Silverstone.
The Dane kept his nose ahead of Carlin teammate Carlos Huertas throughout the session, as both chopped away hundredths of a second with each lap.
Come the chequered flag, Magnussen’s best of 1:53.044 was enough for the top spot, with Huertas missing out by 0.055s.
The second row was another all-Carlin lock out. Newly crowned British Formula 3 champion, Felipe Nasr secured 3rd on the grid ahead of Rupert Svendsen Cook.
Running approximately two-tenths off of Magnussen’s pace throughout, the pair as the swapped positions with Double R’s Scott Pye, Jazeman Jaafar (Carlin) and Pietro Fantin (Hitech) before the field finally sorted itself out.
As time ticked away, Pye notched 5th with Jaafar and Fantin trailing in 7th and 9th positions respectively.
Late efforts from Lucas Foresti (Fortec) and GP3 regular Mitch Evans (Double R) gave them the outside of rows three and four, with Fortec’s Will Buller 10th.
The best Carlin’s Jack Harvey could manage was 11th, alongside full-time GP3 competitor, Alexander Sims.
Kevin Magnussen also assumes the top spot for the opening race of the weekend. Teammate Felipe Nasr accompanies the Dane on the first row, with Double-R’s Scott Pye breaking the Carlin party up front.
Rupert Svendsen-Cook scored 4th on the grid, just ahead of Carlos Huertas (5th) and Pietro Fantin (6th).
