\"gal4\"<\/a>Felix\u00a0qualified fifth and third respectively for the final two FIA Formula 3 European Championship races of the season at Hockenheim, handing himself a couple of strong grid slots in his bid to return to the F3 podium.<\/p>\n

The 20-minute second qualifying session –\u00a0which followed\u00a0only a few hours after Qualifying 1 had\u00a0yielded Felix\u00a0seventh on the grid\u00a0for tomorrow’s Race 1 –\u00a0was red-flagged with 7:19 to go after Roy Nissany ran out of track and hit the barriers on the entry to the Motodrom. Felix was sitting sixth at the time of the stoppage.<\/p>\n

As the session restarted, drivers were left\u00a0undecided on whether to go for a second\u00a0new-tyre run or remain on their previous sets of Hankook slicks. Felix opted for the latter\u00a0alternative, preferring to maintain\u00a0the\u00a0extra heat generated on his first runs over the potential better grip\u00a0provided by new rubber.<\/p>\n

The decision proved right, as he managed to improve to fifth on the final timesheets – demoting 2014 champion Esteban Ocon\u00a0to sixth by\u00a0one hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n

Felix, in turn,\u00a0came just another 0.01s shy of fourth-placed Jordan King.<\/p>\n

The outright times are used to determine the grid for Saturday’s Race 2.<\/p>\n

On the\u00a0list charting second-fastest efforts, and providing the\u00a0starting order for Race 3, Felix\u00a0ended up third –\u00a0leaving him well in the mix for the podium\u00a0as the season comes to a close on Sunday. Felix out-qualified both Ocon and 2015 Toro Rosso Formula 1 signing Max Verstappen on both outright and second-fastest times.<\/p>\n

Tom Blomqvist (Carlin) scored a set of double pole positions.<\/p>\n

The first race of the weekend takes place at 10.25\u00a0tomorrow morning (local time).<\/p>\n

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

“A decent session for us, in which I think we got more or less what we could out of the car. I opted to stay on used tyres after the red flag – I’d noticed that it took some time for them to get up to temperature, so I figured new ones wouldn’t work – and I did manage to slightly improve my position on the final run. It was right on the limit, though; I had a big slide coming out of the final corner, and the tyres were just starting to go off.<\/p>\n

“We have three decent grid slots for the races this weekend – seventh, fifth and third – and there’s every opportunity to challenge for the podium in each of the three races. I will make whatever it takes to return there, and to finish the season on a high.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
