Dennis Hauger took a narrow pole position for the Formula 2 feature race at the Austrian Grand Prix, denying Joshua Durksen by just 0.008s.
MP Motorsport's Hauger pumped in a 1:15.487s to grab pole at the Red Bull Ring, with Durksen the only driver to get within a tenth of the Dane.
Sprint race pole will be Kush Maini's after he qualified in 10th place, with Ollie Bearman set to start ninth in the feature and second for the sprint.
Mercedes F1 junior Andrea Kimi Antonelli will start both races in 16th.
Isack Hadjar had provisional pole after the first laps, but suffered an engine failure during the session, although he still took seventh on the feature grid.
Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
