FIRST TIME FOR THE SYNC SPEEDRS TEAM AT BALATON PARK CIRCUIT. LÓPEZ FIFTH, VIETTI IN Q1

It’s the very first time for the Sync SpeedRS Team at the Balaton Park Circuit, which is hosting the fourteenth round of the 2025 season. A day of learning and discovery on a technical and demanding track saw two different outcomes for our drivers.

After FP1, where he finished P20 (1’42.711), Alonso showed improvement in the afternoon session, gradually finding the right feeling with the Hungarian track. Despite a minor contact with Arenas and some laps being canceled due to yellow flags, rider #21 closed with an excellent 1’41.425, earning fifth position, just +0.212 from the leader. This result guarantees him direct access to Q2 tomorrow.

A more challenging start to the weekend for Celestino. A crash at Turn 8 during the morning session forced him to return to the track only in the final minutes of FP1, without enough time to complete a competitive lap, finishing P13 with a 1’42.683. In the Practice session, despite some setup adjustments during the pit stop, he was unable to find the desired pace and, following another crash, ended up in 22nd position with a 1’41.939. Tomorrow he will face Q1, aiming to redeem himself and secure a place in the decisive session.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 5th in 1’41.425
“It’s a track I like and that suits my style well. Here, braking is very important and tricky because right after you have to prepare for the next corner: you arrive fast and have to brake hard. Overtaking isn’t easy, there are maybe two or three good spots. It’s also a track where it’s easy to make mistakes, so I think starting up front will be crucial. Tomorrow we can have a good qualifying”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 22nd in 1’41.939

“Unfortunately, it was a difficult start, and this morning’s crash didn’t help us make the most of our track time. Fortunately, I didn’t get hurt, but we didn’t get to run much. This afternoon we made some progress, but it wasn’t enough. In the end, I tried to push a bit more, made a mistake, and crashed. Too many mistakes today, but the times aren’t too far off: everyone is very close. Tomorrow we’ll try to improve both the bike and my riding to get more out of it, and hopefully we can make it through to Q2”.
