At the Circuit of the Americas, Celestino Vietti secured a spot on the second row in the qualifying session for the Grand Prix of the United States, while Dennis Foggia will have to start from the back after a challenging Q1.

Saturday began with FP2 under cloudy skies and significantly lower temperatures compared to the previous day, conditions that did not allow the HDR SpeedRS Team riders to improve their best times. Vietti finished the session in eighth position with a time of 2’06.867, while Foggia ended in 28th place with 2’08.496.

In the afternoon, Celestino delivered an excellent Q2, lowering his time by over a second compared to yesterday’s practice. The rider from Ciriè stopped the clock at 2’05.500, securing fifth place and a spot on the second row for tomorrow’s race, confirming the strong pace he has shown throughout the weekend.

On the other side of the garage, Dennis faced greater difficulties from FP2 onwards due to the changing track conditions. In Q1, a red flag further complicated the session, and the number 8 was unable to find the necessary feeling to improve. Foggia will therefore start from 27th position, aiming to make up places in the race.

“It was another positive day and I’m happy because the feeling with the bike remains good. This morning the conditions were very different, and it wasn’t easy to manage the session with the cold, especially regarding the tyres, but despite this we were able to confirm the sensations from yesterday, and qualifying also went well, so I’m satisfied. We managed to do two good solo laps, which is definitely positive. It’s a pity because I could have used the track conditions better, especially in Turn 1 where I lost a bit of time, while on the rest of the circuit I was competitive. The goal was to start from the first two rows, and I’d say we achieved that. Tomorrow will be a physically and technically demanding race. Managing the rear tyre will be important, but the potential is there, and we feel ready to put in a good performance”.

“It wasn’t a positive qualifying: I wasn’t able to find the right feeling with the bike and we are losing too much time on braking. Tomorrow will require significant changes to reach the objective and finish in the points zone”.
