Noel Leon clinched pole position for the F2 feature race at the Austrian Grand Prix, outlasting the opposition by using an alternative run plan to go fastest in the 30-minute grid-setting session.
Alex Dunne and Nikola Tsolov, both in the championship hunt, qualified second and third, respectively.
Standings leader Gabriele Mini and Rafael Camara rounded out the top five at the Red Bull Ring.
Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak, Ollie Goethe, Rafael Villagomez, John Bennett and Sebastian Montoya completed the top 10 in Spielberg, with the latter two due to start the reverse-grid sprint race from the front row.
Leon, who sits fifth in the standings, was the first driver to set his second push lap, going half a second quicker than Camara with 10 minutes or so remaining on the clock.
The offset strategy prevailed as others re-emerged on track, with the Campos Racing driver avoiding being pushed down the order whilst the rest of the field set their final times.
