Motopark driver Dan Ticktum put himself on provisional pole for Saturday’s Macau Grand Prix qualification race after a series of red flags in a dramatic first qualifying session on Thursday.

Red Bull junior Ticktum’s lap of two minutes, 11 seconds was 0.132 seconds quicker than Ferrari protégé Callum Ilott of Carlin F3, as he bids for back-to-back wins in Macau.

With rain forecast for Friday, the front row for Saturday could already be set.

Formula Three champion Mick Schumacher had to settle for third for Prema Powerteam, after finishing top of the earlier free practice session.
