Esteban Ocon secured both pole positions for the final pair of FIA European Formula 3 races at Silverstone this weekend.
During a slow starting session, the Prema Powerteam rookie spent much of the running at or near the top of the order, fending off occasional challenges from teammates Nicholas Latifi and Antonio Fuoco.
Max Verstappen (van Amersfoort) and Tom Blomqvist (Carlin) also proved fast once again, although none could match the leading man come the chequered flag.
The Dutch pilot set a best of 1:51.322s some two-thirds of the way through the session, coming close to that again a short time later.
As the sun faded, the track conditions cooled, removing a portion of the life from the tyres, effectively ending many opportunities for late improvements.
Latifi came the closest (1:51.460), while Blomqvist and Fuoco were a further tenth shy, with the Anglo-Kiwi racer just thousandths quicker than his Prema Powerteam rival.
Antonio Giovinazzi sprung a late surprise to take 5th spot from Max Verstappen, who struggled to match the pace he set in the earlier qualifying session (for race one).
Jordan King (Carlin), Dennis van de Laar (Prema), Ed Jones (Carlin) and Mitch Gilbert (Fortec) rounded out the top ten fastest times.
