\"Budapest18\"<\/a>Felix will start the first FIA Formula 3 European Championship race of the weekend from sixth on the grid following what he labelled a “messy” qualifying outing at the Hungaroring on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

After ending up second in the preceding free practice session, Felix had laid the foundations for a strong qualifying performance at the Budapest venue,\u00a0only to\u00a0find himself\u00a0outside the pole position scrap as a combination of factors hindered his progress.<\/p>\n

The first half of the 20-minute session was scuppered by traffic, with Felix constantly encountering slower cars as he tried desperately to find an uninterrupted lap.<\/p>\n

Once in clear air, the tyres had then lost most of their bite, leaving Felix a disappointed sixth – his frustration depicted by the fact that his eventual best was\u00a0close to\u00a0two tenths slower<\/em> than he’d\u00a0managed in practice.<\/p>\n

Pole position went to Prema Powerteam’s Esteban Ocon, with Felix ending up 0.633s adrift of the Frenchman.<\/p>\n

Race\u00a01\u00a0takes place tomorrow morning, with a second qualifying\u00a0session later on Saturday\u00a0then setting up the grid for Race 2 and 3.<\/p>\n

FELIX:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Less than we expected. It was a very messy session, in which I encountered traffic on each of my first five or six laps. Once I found some clear air, the rears (tyres) had lost most of their grip, and there was little I could do to improve. To add to that, the overall balance was worse than this morning, which I think was due to a change\u00a0in track conditions. I was almost two tenths slower than in free practice, which probably says it all. Quite simply a session to forget, and I’m already focussing on tomorrow.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
