Before we talk about the thrilling qualifying session in Monaco for the 2012 Formula One GP which will be happening there tomorrow, some other big news just came in.

Marlon Stockinger, the Filipino driver who drives for Status Grand Prix in the GP3 series will be starting the support race in pole position!

The GP3 series holds their races during the same weekend as the Formula One races just to make it clear to those who might get confused. I know that many people still think that Marlon is driving in F1. Ideally of course, with his great showing and steady improvement in the GP3 series, we might just find a Filipino in F1 in the near future. 

Marlon currently sits in 4th position in the GP3 series but with pole position tomorrow, he is set to improve since Monaco is notoriously one of the most difficult tracks to overtake.
