Callum Ilott continued his amazing Formula 2 qualifying record in 2020 as he claimed pole position at Silverstoneꦆ. 

Ilott is the first driver in F2 this season to have scored two pole pos♉itions and the Brit hasn’t qualified outside the top three at any race in 20💧20.

The UNI-Virtuosi Racing driver’s pole position was confirmed after Sean Gelael had a spin at Copse corner on his final run, which resulted in yellow flꦕags - meaning drivers had to back off and thus couldn’t improve🐭 their lap times.

ART’s Christian Lundgaard will join Illoꦛt on the front row, having missed out on pole by just 0.115s.

The Dane was consi🔜stently fast in the opening sector of the lap but was unable to carry this advantage through the remaining two-thirds of theﷺ circuit.

Two more Brits in Jack Aitken an🍰d Dan Ticktum will start in third and fourth, ahead of Luca Ghiotto and the second UNI-Virtuosi Racing car of Guanyu Zhou.

Last weekend’s feature race🌟 winner Nikita Mazepin could only manage seventh, less than a tenth ahead of Mick🎉 Schumacher in eighth.

Louis Delétraz and Yuki Tsunoda rounded o💃ut th💙e top ten.

Points leader Robert Shwartzman continued to struggle for pace at Silverstone and🌜 is set to start 11th.

The Russian failed to score a single point in either race at Silverstone last we🎃ek and with main championship rival Illot taking pole position, his lead in the championship is under serious threat.

Last week’s p꧟ole-sitter Felipe Drugovich completed the top 12.

The feature race is set to༺ get underway after Formula 1 qualifying tomorrow afternoon.
