 FIA Formula 3000 International Championship

F3000 Qualifying-Imola 2002.

PF: "We´ve missed the right time on the track. But we are still optimistic, even when it is raining tomorrow!"
 
Second poleposition for Sebastien Bourdais (Fra)! 
 
The Formula 3000 Qualfiying at the " Autodromo Dino e Enzo Ferrari" at Imola was some kind of a wheather lottery.

For the first time, the new Lola Zytek 2002 was running on rainy conditions and the drivers had to fight against very difficult and changing conditions. At the first session, the qualifying was started on wet tyres. And there was just a small "window" of 5 minutes at the beginning and five miutes at hte end of the first session to set the time. And the Red Bull Junior Team missed the time just by a few moments.

Positions 9 (Patrick) and 10 (Ricardo) are a little bit disappointing:

PF.: "For sure, we´ve missed the right time, for setting our personal best times on top. But I am still optimistic for tomorrow. Especially when the rain will come back for the race, we should have a very competitive rain-set up."
 
Second poleposition after Sao Paolo for Sebastien Bourdais (Fra).
