Monte Carlo Qualifying Groups drawn

Following a ballot during the Formula 3 drivers’ briefing, the two groups for Friday’s Qualifying sessions have been decided. Group A consists of even-numbered cars, while Group B is comprised of odd-numbered cars.
Group A will be the first on track with the session getting underway at 11:05 local time on Friday in Monte Carlo. Group B will follow afterwards at 11:29 local time.
The grid order will be determined by an aggregated result of the Qualifying sessions. The fastest driver overall will start the Feature Race from Pole Position, with the fastest driver in the opposite group starting alongside them on the front row.
Positions will then alternate between Groups until the remaining positions are filled out on the grid. The sixth fastest car from the second group will start the Sprint Race from reverse grid Pole Position, with the sixth quickest driver in the faster group going from P2 on Saturday.
The drivers participating in each group are as follows:
