Pole number three for ART Grand Prix driver Romain Grosjean this afternoon in Bahrain. Just like in Malaysia, iSport International Karun Chandhok will also start Race 1 from the front row tomorrow.
Grosjean was untouchable on the Bahraini track: not only did he set the pace this morning in Free Practice, he also snatched his third pole position of the 2008 GP2 Asia Series with a 1:42.661 this afternoon.
Behind him, Karun Chandhok posted the second fastest lap time of the session. Tomorrow's front row will therefore be identical to the one in Sepang.
However, let's hope for the two men that history doesn't repeat itself as we saw both drivers stall on the grid two weeks ago.
Chandhok's team-mate, Bruno Senna completes the Top 3, closely followed by Adrian Valles and Kamui Kobayashi, who will start from 4th and 5th on the grid.
Currently third in the Drivers' Championship, Fairuz Fauzy, will start from the third row ahead of Jerome d'Ambrosio in the other Dams car and Sébastien Buemi.
DPR's Diego Nunes is in the Top 10 for the first time this season. He will start from the 5th row next to Piquet Sports' Marco Bonanomi.
