Rafael Camara takes Formula 2 feature race pole at Silverstone with 1:39.690, edging Alex Dunne by 0.201 seconds to seize a narrow advantage for the 2026 British Grand Prix weekend.
Dunne’s Rodin Motorsport entry lands second, with ART’s Kush Maini only 0.001 slower in third. Roman Bilinski places fourth for DAMS Lucas Oil after a tidy, composed session.
Nikola Tsolov completes the top five for Campos. Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak secures sixth for ART, with Invicta’s Joshua Dürksen seventh after strong sector-one execution on his best lap.
Rafael Villagomez takes eighth for Van Amersfoort Racing, ahead of Hitech’s Ritomo Miyata in ninth. Championship leader Gabriele Mini is tenth for MP Motorsport after a measured, late-session run.
Rafael Camara takes Silverstone feature race pole with 1:39.690.
By virtue of Formula 2’s reversed-grid sprint format, Mini and Miyata share the sprint race front row. That positioning offers valuable points potential before Sunday’s longer feature.
Mini was investigated for a possible unsafe release in qualifying. The stewards issued no penalty, but the classification remains provisional while further post-session checks are completed.
Top 11 qualifiers are covered by less than one second.
Dino Beganovic sits eleventh for DAMS Lucas Oil, with Mari Boya twelfth for Prema. Sebastian Montoya, Oliver Goethe, and Colton Herta follow for Prema, MP Motorsport, and Hitech respectively.
The margins are tight. Eleven drivers sit within a second, reflecting a grippy, rapidly evolving track and the value of a tow. Tyre preparation and clean air management prove decisive.
Silverstone’s high-speed layout should generate DRS trains, making tyre life and pit timing central on Sunday. Expect aggressive undercuts and opportunistic moves into Brooklands and Stowe.
Gabriele Mini avoids sanction after unsafe-release review; his feature P10 becomes sprint race pole.
