F3: Camara dominates to take fourth pole of 2025 in Barcelona

Nobody could keep up with the pace of Rafael Camara as the TRIDENT driver secured his fourth pole position of the 2025 FIA Formula 3 season in Barcelona.

The Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy talent was in supreme form, setting a 1m 28.761s to wind up two-tenths clear of his closest challenger in Nikola Tsolov, who finished second for Campos Racing.

Camara held the provisional top spot from early on. The Brazilian had made a slight error on his first attempt, but rebounded to set the pace a few tenths off his eventual best as the track continued to ramp up.

Tsolov had been under pressure going into the second attempts after losing his initial effort for breaching track limits, but the Monte Carlo Feature Race winner rocketed back up to P2 by the end with his final flying lap.

Laurens van Hoepen was another to make a late improvement, and the Dutch driver became the lead ART Grand Prix car on the grid in third position.
