The Phinsys by Argenti racer clocked a best lap of 1:05.301 on his final run in FP2, with Carlin\u2019s Ugo Ugochukwu and Hitech GP\u2019s Alex Dunne similarly improving to go second and third, 0.07 and 0.16 seconds back respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erstwhile leader Oliver Gray\u2019s morning benchmark of 1:05.541 remained enough to keep the Williams Racing junior in fourth overall, with Argenti\u2019s own F1 junior, Mercedes\u2019 Daniel Guinchard, rounding out the top five in both sessions, and outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Loake led the line for reigning champions JHR Developments in sixth spot, with he, Hitech\u2019s Eduardo Coseteng, Virtuosi\u2019s Edward Pearson and the final Carlin challenger of Louis Sharp covered by just two tenths in the final order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loake\u2019s JHR team-mate Georgi Dimitrov rounded out the top ten, just 0.012s ahead of Michael Shin in the other Virtuosi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Stewart (Hitech) led a trio of Rookie Cup-eligible entries next with Adam Fitzgerald (Argenti) and Noah Lisle (JHR) for close company. Chris Dittmann Racing\u2019s Joel Pearson and Daniel Mavlyutov (Hitech) round out the 16-strong field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualifying marks the start of competitive action in Britain\u2019s FIA Formula 4 series for 2022 at 10:35 on Saturday (23 April), with the opening race to follow later that afternoon at 15:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday features another double header of action at 09:45 and 15:20, with the latter race shown live and free-to-air in the UK on ITV4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
