After Edoardo Mortara had set his maiden fastest qualifying time in the Formula 3 Euro Series at Valencia, he added his second pole position on the next race weekend at the 2.3 kilometres long Norisring. Valtteri Bottas, local hero Marco Wittmann and Alexander Sims followed in second to fourth place. With his fastest qualifying time, Mortara extended his margin over Wittmann in the drivers' standings by one point to 14.
Mortara dominated proceedings throughout qualifying for the seventh season round of the Formula 3 Euro Series in hot conditions. Only just before the end, Valtteri Bottas succeeded in toppling Mortara from the top position. However, Mortara countered successfully and claimed back first place. Behind Wittmann, Sims and Laurens Vanthoor, Carlos Muñoz was the best-placed rookie in sixth position.
Edoardo Mortara: "Qualifying was crazy. I was in the lead for a long time. But just before the end, Valtteri was in front of me. After that, I wanted to attack once again, had to overtake my team-mate Laurens Vanthoor and spun. Fortunately, I didn't hit the wall. The next lap was then still good for the fastest time. I am totally happy."
