Hulkenberg takes pole at Zandvoort

For the fourth time this season already, Nico Hülkenberg set the fastest lap time in qualifying of the Formula 3 Euro Series. 

At the 4.307 kilometres long circuit through the dunes of Zandvoort, the 20-year old test driver of the Williams Formula 1 team outpaced rookie Mika Mäki from Finland by 0.080 seconds. 

The second grid row for the ninth season round of the Formula 3 Euro Series on Saturday will be occupied by 18-year old Frenchman Jules Bianchi and Brit Sam Bird, his senior by three years, For both drivers, it was their best qualifying result of the season. 

"It was not easy, because I had expected more grip on the track," said Hulkenberg. "I think that a lot of sand was blown onto the track because of the wind and that it was slippery as a result. With my first set of tyres, the balance of my car wasn't that good, but with the second set, we managed to adapt the set-up to the track conditions in a better way."
