Tom
Blomqvist (Jagonya Ayam with Carlin) got himself into a good position
for the battle for second place in the final drivers’ standings.
With two positions for season races 32 and 33 of the FIA Fórmula 3
European Championship, he was fastest in second qualifying of the
weekend. His fiercest rival Max Verstappen (Van Amersfoort Racing),
who has already signed a Fórmula 1 contract for next season, has to
make do with ninth and eighth place on the grid. On the starting grid
for the 32nd race of the season, Antonio Giovinazzi (Jagonya Ayam
with Carlin), Lucas Auer (Mücke Motorsport) and Jordan King (Carlin)
will follow behind Blomqvist. For the final race of the season at the
4.574 kilometres long Hockemnheimring Baden-Württemberg, Auer, Felix
Rosenqvist (Mücke Motorsport) and Giovinazzi will follow behind the
20-year-old Brit. Next to Blomqvist and Verstappen, Auer also still
has chances to claim runner-up spot in the championship. With Esteban
Ocon (Prema Powerteam), the FIA Fórmula 3 European Champion has
already been known for a week.

grid race 2
Tom
Blomqvist (1:31s817), who came to Hockenheim three points down on Max
Verstappen, was already on top at the halfway point, but initially
had to give up that position again. He dropped back to sixth place,
but then started his final attack. First of all, the young Brit
improved to third place and then moved up into the lead again. On his
final lap, he improved once more and was delighted with his clear
pole position. Antonio Giovinazzi (1:32s152) ensured that there are
two drivers of the Jagonya Ayam with Carlin team on the front row of
the grid for the 32nd race. Lucas Auer (1:32s245), Jordan King
(1:32s403), Felix Rosenqvist (1:32s414) and the already-crowned FIA
Fórmula 3 European Champion Esteban Ocon (1:32s422) were classified
in third to sixth place.

In the
classification of the second-fastest laps, Tom Blomqvist (1:31s987)
was unbeatable as well. Lucas Auer (1:32s286) claimed second place
from Rosenqvist (1:32s429), Giovinazzi (1:32s545), King (1:32s669)
and Ocon (1:32s710).
Tom
Blomqvist (Jagonya Ayam with Carlin): “Qualifying was good. Prior
to the red flags that came out after Nick Cassidy had crashed, it
didn’t look too good, but at that time, I had only done one lap.
However, I knew that I had the speed. My car was really good and I
managed to do two very good laps towards the end of the session. Of
course, I am happy with that. Now, I want to enjoy the final three
races of the season and I want to have fun. I like Hockenheim and in
the past, I was usually quick here”.
