Why is Bruno Senna smiling? His second pole in as many race weekends might have something to do with it... (LAT photo) ยป More Photos
Bruno Senna produced a brilliant lap to grab pole position for Saturday's GP2 feature race away from practice pacesetter Romain Grosjean at Silverstone on Friday afternoon.
Senna was the only man to break the 1:27 barrier, producing a lap of 1:26.912, just over a tenth faster than Grosjean, who had set the pace for the first half of the session.
Grosjean's response on new tyres was first hindered by a spot of road rage with FMS driver Roldan Rodriguez at Becketts, who felt he'd held him up and drove him right to the edge of the track. Grosjean too found traffic, and just couldn't string a lap together that came close to bettering his, or Senna's, time.
Andi Zuber will start third for Piquet Sports, but last year's feature race winner was totally on the edge, and eventually went off at Becketts just after setting his fastest time - narrowly avoiding Senna as he spun across the track.
Lucas di Grassi will start fourth in his second event with the Campos squad, edging out series leader Giorgio Pantano, who will start fifth for Racing Engineering. Luca Filippi qualified sixth for ART, but blamed his team-mate Grosjean for baulking his best effort, and himself for sliding wide in the Complex on his final run.
Andy Soucek (Super Nova) will start seventh, but was called in for questioning by the stewards after he appeared to hold up the fastest lap of iSport's Karun Chandhok at Luffield. Video evidence will no doubt be the judge there, as Chandhok was carrying an on-board camera.
Mike Conway was next up for Trident, not quite repeating his form of this morning. Kamui Kobayashi (DAMS) and Chandhok rounded out the top 10, but Kobayashi was also invited for a chat with the stewards.
