Spain’s Albert Costa has seized pole position at the Circuit de Catalunya for Sunday’s title-deciding Formula Renault 3.5 race.

“After I went to bed last night, I said to my cousin - sharing a room with me – ‘Man, tomorrow I don't have anything to lose because I have lost everything today, so I’m going to push like hell!’” Epic Racing driver and pole-sitter Costa is quoted as saying.
