Nikola Tsolov won his second pole position in Formula 3 after triumphing in qualifying at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. He will start from the front row in the race on Sunday, reports BNR "Horizont".

The Bulgarian pilot reached the first position with a lap of 1:20.743, which he achieved in his second outing on the track. With it, he overtook Brad Benavides by 0.174 seconds, who surprisingly reached second place and will keep Nikola company on the front row on Sunday.

With his pole position, Tsolov also earned two bonus points in the battle for the title, in which he occupies second place behind Brazilian Rafael Camara. Currently, the difference between the two is 26 points, and these two points will be added to the asset on Sunday.
