Tsolov on Pole while Tramnitz Pushes Hard

Nikola Tsolov arrived at Silverstone with a point to prove, and he delivered in spectacular fashion. After a dominant display in practice, the young Bulgarian truly came alive in a nail-biting qualifying session. As the clock ticked down, and rivals pushed to the limit, Tsolov dug deep, snatching pole position by a mere 0.023 seconds in a breathtaking final run from Ugochukwu. This remarkable feat marked his second consecutive pole and third of the 2025 season, solidifying his status as a qualifying force.

, admitted a candid Nikola Tsolov after the QP session. “I did not think it was fantastic, you know. I saw Rafa’s time on the second set, which I got safety mode in, so I could not do it, so then I wanted to really push hard, did a few mistakes, but overall I think we have had the pace since practice, so it was enough to do pole.”

The Feature Race was where Tramnitz truly showcased his resilience. Like his Red Bull Junior teammate, he contended with the deluge and treacherous track conditions. The race was marked by an early red flag, adding another layer of complexity. Despite the extreme conditions and the inherent difficulties of overtaking in the wet, Tramnitz pushed tirelessly, looking for any advantage, but could only bring his car home in P18.

“Struggled with the balance and just for overall pace. Not happy to just miss out on points with P11,” said a candid Tim Tramnitz following the Sprint Race.
