Dutchman Robert de Haan (Lechner Racing) will be able to start the 2nd round of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup from pole position, Sunday at noon, after setting the fastest time in qualifying late on Friday afternoon.
The designated successor to his compatriot Larry ten Voorde, the absolute master of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in recent years, he will also be able to take his revenge after retiring from the opening round of the 2025 season at Imola last Sunday.
The best rookie of 2024, de Haan wears the number 1 in his pink Lechner Racing Porsche. On Friday, he beat the German winner of the Imola round, Theo Oeverhaus, by just 55 thousandths. And the good surprise for the French was that Marvin Klein, the Dutchman’s team-mate at Lechner Racing, took 3rd place in qualifying and will therefore start on the 2nd row of the grid at midday on Sunday, for 30 laps which promise to be fierce.
This qualifying session was slowed down or interrupted several times by yellow and red flags, with several participants making mistakes in different parts of the Circuit de Monaco. It was a veritable festival of small and big mistakes, and the ACM Marshals, as always, were very efficient in removing the cars as quickly as possible and clearing the carbon debris from the track.
Behind the leading trio grouped together by two tenths of a second, 4th place in qualifying, and therefore on Sunday’s grid, was taken by South African Keagan Masters (Ombra Racing), ahead of another Frenchman, Alessandro Ghiretti, the best rookie of 2023 and now the leader of the reigning champion team, Schumacher CLRT, originally founded by driver Côme Ledogar.
With two French drivers in the Top 5, Sunday’s race promises to be an interesting one for French fans of the only single-make competition to be run as a curtain-raiser to the European Grands Prix.
A category in which there are 7 Dutch and 6 German drivers this year. On the French side, the third driver involved, Mathys Jaubert (Martinet by Alméras), will start on the 13th place on the grid, which will feature 28 highly motivated drivers. This will happen on Sunday at midday, just three hours before the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025.
