GERMAN GP QUALIFYING: THIRD ROW FOR LÓPEZ, SIXTH FOR VIETTI

Qualifying for the German Grand Prix took place under persistent rain, putting the Folladore SpeedRS Team riders to the test. In these tricky conditions, López secured eighth place, while Vietti will start from the sixth row tomorrow.

After a tough FP2, which he finished in P19 (1’33.881), Alonso bounced back in qualifying. A quick pit stop for a technical adjustment improved the feeling on the wet track, allowing him to set a lap time of 1’35.279, which earned him a solid spot on the third row for tomorrow’s race.

It was a more difficult day for Celestino, who was unable to replicate the good feeling he had on Friday. After closing FP2 in P21 (1’34.563), Vietti struggled to find the right feeling in the wet during Q2. With a best time of 1’39.905, the number 13 ended Saturday in 18th position and will start from the sixth row on the grid.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 8th – 1’35.279
“It was a really tough qualifying session, but I’m satisfied with the result. After FP2, we knew we had some work to do, especially to improve the feeling in the wet. The team did a great job during the pit stop, managing to make a change that gave me more confidence on the bike. P8 isn’t bad given the conditions, and starting from the third row puts us in a good spot for the race. Now we have to stay focused, as the weather could be a key factor again tomorrow”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 18th – 1’39.905
“It was a day to forget. I wasn’t competitive at all during qualifying. Now we need to focus on preparing as best as we can for the race. If it’s dry tomorrow, I know my pace is good; but if it rains again, we need to take at least one step forward to be able to fight with the others. We’ll try to improve”.
