Red Bull F1 junior Juri Vips claims Imola F2 pole in wet conditions
The Estonian was the man to beat through tricky conditions in qualifying at Imola, heading t🐲he timesheets for much of the session.
Wet conditions and several ꧅red flag stoppages didn't stop Vips, who will be eyeing a promotion to AlphaTauri for 2023.

Vips is ꦺcurrently 15 points behind the Brazilian, who qualified 12th.
Behind Vips was Ayumu Iwasa in the DAMS, with Jack D🐠oohan completing the top three.
Ralph Boschung was fourth✃ for Campos ahead of Denn๊is Hauger, while Roy Nissany impressed with sixth.
Theo Pourchaire only managed seventh ahead of𝓰 Jehan Daruva𒀰la, Marcus Armstrong and Logan Sargeant.
D💛avid Beckmann was a solid 11th on his return, replacing the injured Cem Bölükbaşı.
Completing the top 15 were Drugovich, Cle🐬ment Novalak, Liam Lawson and E🔜nzo Fittipaldi.
Olli Caldwell caused the first re♏d flag of the session after an off at Turn 3 i♕n the early phase of qualifying.
