A memorable qualifying session Friday saw Marvin Kirchhofer blaze to pole in Abu Dhabi, whilst Carlin rookie Alex Lynn became the fifth driver to take the elusive GP3 crown.
Lynn, a member of the Red Bull Young Driver programme, had one hand on the coveted trophy prior to the season finale at Yas Marina Circuit, after his nearest challenger in the standing's Dean Stoneman failed to score - Lynn can not be beaten on points and thus celebrates a fantastic season.
At the chequered flag, the qualifying session belonged to Kirchhöfer, the second pole position for the rookie, with Stoneman, Bernstorff and Lynn completing the front two rows.
Looking ahead, what does the future hold for the new champion?
“The best scenario for me would be to get the Toro Rosso drive in Formula 1, but ever increasingly, unfortunately, a small cog in a huge moving wheel goes around in terms of Red Bull and Formula 1,” Lynn said in a press release.
“Things are very difficult. But to be honest it's very much in the air. I do believe that in the next two to three weeks I will know for sure my future, once the F1 season is finished. It will be an interesting time but I have three or four options and if any of them come off, it will be amazing. I'm sure one of them will but until it's done, it's not done. Everything is looking good,” the British driver declared.
