Barcelona FR3.5: Kevin Magnussen gets pole in fog-hit session
New Formula Renault 3.5 champion Kevin Magnussen took his fifth pole position in a row as fog forced the final qualifying session of the year to be cut short
The DAMS driver set the pace during the first runs of the morning, but the session was halted for the first time just past the halfway mark as the fog that had started to clear just before the session became thicker.
After a 30-minute delay qualifying was restarted, but five minutes later - just as the majority of cars headed out for their second runs - it was stopped again and the decision was taken to abandon the session.
That left Magnussen on pole ahead of championship runner-up Stoffel Vandoorne (Fortec), with Arthur Pic and Will Stevens on the second row for AV and P1/Strakka respectively.
Draco's Nico Muller and Christopher Zanella's ISR machine were next up, while behind them Carlos Sainz Jr, Norman Nato, Nigel Melker and Will Buller completed the top 10.
Red Bull junior Antonio Felix da Costa could only manage the 13th-fastest lap on his first run so the Arden Caterham driver will start on the seventh row.
