Mick Schumacher (PREMA Theodore Racing) was unbeatable in second qualifying at the 3.629 kilometres long Nürburgring sprint circuit. As a result, the German will be able to start the 23rd race of the season from the best grid position ahead of Robert Shvartzman (PREMA Theodore Racing), Daniel Ticktum (Motopark) and Marcus Armstrong (PREMA Theodore Racing). As Schumacher also came out on top in the ranking of the second-fastest laps, he will also be starting from pole position for the 24th race of the year. Shvartzman, Ticktum and Alex Palou (Hitech Bullfrog GP) round out the first two grid rows.

Mick Schumacher (PREMA Theodore Racing): “I had saved my new tyres for the end of qualifying and then I managed to pull out two really good laps. The team has done a tremendous job aswell, my car was outstanding to drive. I am very happy with the fact that things have been going so well for me since Spa-Francorchamps. I hope and I am optimistic as well that things keep going like this for me until the end of the season.”
