Grosjean takes pole at Mugello
Renault Development Driver Romain Grosjean claimed a comfortable pole position for the first round of this weekend's Formula Three Euro Series race at Mugello
The ASM driver was on top throughout the 30-minute session, and could have gone even quicker than his pole time of 1:41.485 had he not been baulked in traffic.
His French teammate Tom Dillman was second, almost 0.3 seconds slower than the pole man, but it was a fine showing by the Red Bull junior driver nonetheless.
Dutchman Renger van der Zande will line up an impressive third following his best qualifying result of the season, ahead of ASM teammates Kamui Kobayashi and Nico Hulkenberg. Championship leader Sebastien Buemi will start from sixth
It was a poor session for Manor Motorsport, with James Jakes their top driver back in ninth.
On his series debut, Irishman Euan Hankey acquitted himself well to take 14th for HS Technik.
