Bianchi heads ART 1-2

Jules Bianchi has proven that he is back on top form by claiming pole position in this afternoon's qualifying session in Monza, albeit by the tightest of margins: the Frenchman pipped ART teammate Sam Bird and Jerome d'Ambrosio by less than a tenth of a second. The Frenchman set his best time of 1:30.269 when conditions were at their best: the session opening under hot conditions following the second F1 practice, with plenty of their rubber on track allowing the field to set scorching times right from the start.
