Qualifying: Wilson, Zonta take poles
Justin Wilson and Ricardo Zonta took a pole position each for this weekend's two Telefonica World Series races at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona
Wilson outpaced former Macau Formula 3 winner Andre Couto and Antonio Garcia in the first session, with championship leader Zonta back in fourth. His nearest title challengers Franck Montagny and Bas Leinders will start the first of tomorrow's races fifth and seventh respectively.
Zonta avoided the traffic that blighted his first session to take pole for the second race. His 1m31.213s lap was the best of the weekend so far.
Montagny will start alongside him, with Leinders and Jean Christophe Ravier third and fourth. Wilson's chances of repeating his earlier pole were ruined by a puncture and he will start the second race from the third row.
