Kupiškis, Lithuania, 13th August, 2022: Team Abu Dhabi’s Mansoor Al Mansoori underlined his challenge for the 2022 UIM F2 World Championship today by grabbing pole position for the Grand Prix of Lithuania.
Motivated by his second place in last month’s first round of the 2022 series in Poland, the Emirati driver produced a stunning performance to win a three-stage qualifying session hampered by gusting winds.
Al Mansoori edged out Sharjah Team’s Sami Seliö in a thrilling shoot-out to ensure he will start an F2 race from the front for the first time tomorrow.
“I can’t wait for tomorrow,” said Al Mansoori. “I’ll be aiming to have a good start, and after I turn the first buoy I can keep my position.”
Team-mate and three-times F2 world champion Rashed Al Qemzi will start tomorrow’s second Grand Prix of the season from seventh spot after narrowly missing a place in the shoot-out on a demanding circuit.
“The course was too crowded and it was very difficult to set a good time, but I’ll push hard
tomorrow and everything is possible,” said Al Qemzi.
The defending world champion is eager to bounce back with a big performance in Lithuania
following his setback in Poland, where a race error from a backmarker put him out while
he led the opening round.
Al Qemzi had quickly found his pace in Kupiškis, setting the fastest time in today’s free
practice session.
American Brent Dillard, who cracked a rib playing basketball last week, was forced to retire
in pain and hand over the drive to Frenchman Peter Morin.
Sweden’s Bimba Sjöholm made a dramatic exit from the practice session when her boat barrel-
rolled, and although she was able to start the first qualifying session, she soon went out with
mechanical issues.
Flying Finn Selio was fastest in that session, with Al Mansoori in fifth and Al Qemzi in
sixth going through comfortably.
After Mansoori took an early lead in the shoot-out, Selio powered his way ahead, but the
Emirati driver quickly responded to secure pole position. Germany’s Stefan Hagin, the first round
winner in Poland, qualified in fifth place.
