Rodin Motorsport’s Zane Maloney produced a stunning last lap effort in qualifying to beat his title rivals Isack Hadjar and Paul Aron to pole position at Monza, the first of Formula 2 career.
In a red flag-affected session, the majority of the field had just one push lap at the end of qualifying to get a time on the board and it was Campos Racing’s Hadjar that went to provisional pole on a 1m 32.249s.

However, Maloney, who had been fastest in practice, put in a tremendous final two sectors to take top spot with a 1m 32.160s, beating the championship leader by just 0.089s.
Aron will start third for Hitech Pulse-Eight as he looks to get his title challenge back under way.
However, Gabriel Bortoleto, who is second in the standings, will have to do that from the back of the grid after he beached his Invicta Racing car in the gravel at the second Lesmo having not set a representative lap time.
