After the summer break, the Moto2™ World Championship returned to action at the historic Silverstone Circuit, hosting the first round of the second half of the 2026 season. For the British Grand Prix, the team took to the track with the special GT Trevisan Macchine Utensili livery.

The British Friday ended with a positive overall result, especially for Celestino Vietti, who was determined to put the unfortunate German Grand Prix weekend behind him. The #13 rider started the day with the tenth-fastest time in FP1, setting a 2’03.423, before making further progress in the afternoon Practice session. Thanks to effective set-up work, Vietti improved his benchmark to 2’02.690, finishing ninth and securing direct access to tomorrow’s Q2.

Luca Lunetta, meanwhile, coming off a third-place finish at this circuit in the 2025 Moto3™ season, used today’s two sessions to continue building confidence with his Boscoscuro, mainly focusing on improving his lines, corner speed and braking phase. The Roman rider finished FP1 in 24th position with a time of 2’04.595, while in Practice he stopped the clock at 2’03.132, placing 21st overall. Luca will therefore have to go through Q1 tomorrow, with the aim of securing a place in the decisive qualifying session.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P9 in 2’02.690

“It was a good Friday; we started again strongly after the summer break. The feeling with the bike is positive, and this allowed us to work effectively. We still need to fine-tune the final details in order to arrive as prepared as possible for the race. We are still missing a little something, but the start of the weekend has definitely been positive. We just need to refine a few aspects and continue working in the right direction”.

“It was a very intense Friday, with a lot of work to do. We came back from the break highly motivated and with a great desire to do well. It was not an easy day, because this is a very long track and you need to find the right feeling through many corners, working on every small detail. I really like the track and in the afternoon we made a big step forward. The team is working at 100% to put me in the best possible position and give me the best version of the bike. We are still missing one small step, but I am very confident: I think tomorrow we can make another improvement, both in terms of set-up and our understanding of the track. A big thank you to everyone”.
