Hamilton scoops Oschersleben R2 pole.

ASM F3 driver, Lewis Hamilton has succeeded in securing pole for race 2 of the F3 Euroseries to be held Sunday at the MotoPark Oschersleben.

Hamilton, who leads the drivers' championship, posted a best time of 1 minute 17.747 seconds, around two tenths up on Lucas di Grassi, who will start alongside him on the front row of the grid.

Hamilton and di Grassi were the only two drivers' to break the 1min 18 sec bracket.

"It's the first time that we are going to contest a race at Oschersleben. I'm learning more with every lap I'm completing. It was truly hard work to secure the pole position today. The others turned out to be extremely competitive. I'm sure that the race will be anything but easy," said the Brit, who has recently notched up wins at the Marlboro Masters and at Monaco.

di Grassi meanwhile was pleased to be second, especially as he split the two ASM F3 drivers.

"To have secured a grid position between the two ASM cars represents major progress," confirmed the Manor driver. "Following our poor weekend in Monaco we have worked a lot, and this effort seems to pay off, now."

Adrian Sutil however was disappointed to 'only' line up third, especially as he was over half a second off his team-mate - pole-sitter, Hamilton.

"The beginning of the qualifying went quite well, but things never went really good, today," said Sutil. "I'm slightly disappointed as a better result than third position on the grid was within my reach. Yet, should I succeed in making a good start, everything is possible, on Sunday."

Paul di Resta was next up in fourth, while Giedo van der Garde and Sebastian Vettel rounded out the top six, the latter the fastest of the rookies.
