Penalties give Alguersuari pole

Jaime Alguersuari inherited pole position for the opening British Formula 3 race of the weekend at Donington Park after all the times set during a yellow flag period in the session were taken away

Brendon Hartley had originally taken the pole but once all the laps set under yellow flags had been cancelled, Alguersuari was left with the quickest time.

Oliver Turvey maintained his third place, with Dean Smith moving up to fourth for his first F3 race, Sam Abay fifth, and Walter Grubmuller sixth. The biggest loser was Nick Tandy, who dropped from 4th to 13th.

The alterations also moved Jay Bridger to the top of the National Class, tenth overall, with Henry Surtees dropped to 12th and second in class.

Max Chilton's ten place grid penalty now drops him to 17th.
