Qual 1: Premat again
Alexandre Premat moved a step closer to claiming the runner-up spot in the Formula 3 Euroseries with his second pole of the weekend at Brno
The Frenchman was once again the class of the field, but this time his advantage was just 0.1s over team-mate Jamie Green as ASM stole the show. The front two were almost a second quicker than the rest, who were headed Prema rookie Franck Perera.
Nico Rosberg (Team Rosberg), who still harbours hopes of taking second in the championship, starts fourth, ahead of Giedo van der Garde (Signature Plus), the second Prema car of Roberto Streit and Signature's Loic Duval. Polish driver Robert Kubica (Mucke) completes the top eight.
Lewis Hamilton will line up ninth for Manor Motorsport, Tom Kimber-Smith starts 21st in his Kolles Dallara-Mercedes, while Derek Hayes' difficult baptism at Team Ghinzani continued and he was the slowest of the 26 runners.
