Race Day: Oct. 17, Circuit du Soleil, Le Castellet, France.
The strongly anticipated Saturday arrived to kick off official action in the 11th round, though the 11th round had officially begun with the qualifying sessions held on Thursday and Friday for Formula 2 and Formula 1, respectively.
The starting grid was determined after a traditional fastest point qualifying session for the Formula 2 teams. Despite getting P3, Luca wasn't happy with his results on Thursday.
The qualifying session was as tough as ever, and with all drivers present on track simultaneously to achieve the fastest lap, it became even tougher—and dangerous.
The grid setup for this session followed the same structure as Riyadh's, where drivers were arranged alphabetically by their last names. However, instead of the usual descending order, this time it was in ascending order, effectively reversing the grid.
