Bruno negotiated his way through a difficult three qualifying sessions with the team making strategic calls based on the threat of rain, which never actually came.

Vitaly meanwhile was caught out with a lack of pace in Q2 which meant he qualified outside the top ten in 15th position with a 1min 14.053secs lap.
