Championship leader Felipe Drugovich was leading for MP Motorsport until the final seconds of Friday's qualifying, when he hit the wall at Turn 19, bringing out the yellow flags in the last sector.
Sauber junior Pourchaire, who started in seventh for ART Grand Prix, avoided a startline crash involving Prema’s Dennis Hauger and Jack Doohan (Virtuosi) to claim fifth by the first corner.
As the sun set over the storied Italian venue, Hitech Grand Prix driver Vips took his first pole of the season with a 1m40.221s lap that put him 0.15s clear of nearest challenger Iwasa (DAMS).
The Brazilian driver, who leads the championship, set a 1m27.529s on Thursday morning to top the timesheet at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The Carlin driver overtook Jake Hughes on the start-finish straight with just two laps remaining to take his second victory in the series.
Pourchaire stalled on the grid in the feature race and was collected by an unsighted Fittipaldi, which triggered a nasty crash that immediately drew a red flag from race control.
The Dutchman, a late addition to the Trident lineup after switching from MP Motorsport for his second season in the series, took advantage of polesitter Felipe Drugovich’s poor start to score his second series win, having broken his duck at Silverstone last year.
Dust and sand on track also affected the earlier FIA Formula 3 testing session, which ended at 5pm local time, with drivers told to switch on their rear lights due to the conditions.
