The qualifying session for the Italian Grand Prix at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello concluded this afternoon, with the MB Conveyors SpeedRS Team securing sixth and seventh row positions on the starting grid for tomorrow’s race.

On a day marked by extremely high temperatures, the team riders worked intensively to prepare for the Italian Sunday. During FP2, Celestino Vietti focused on race pace, completing the session without any pit stops and setting the sixth-fastest time with a lap of 1’49.680. On the other side of the garage, Luca Lunetta continued his development path, improving his Friday reference and finishing the session in twenty-first position with a time of 1’50.473.

In the afternoon, qualifying did not deliver the expected results for Vietti. Despite strong potential shown throughout the previous sessions, the rider from Ciriè was unable to put together a fully competitive lap. Furthermore, with less than two minutes remaining in Q2, a crash at Turn 10 definitively prevented any further improvement. With a lap time of 1’49.661, Vietti finished the session in sixteenth position and will start tomorrow from the sixth row.

Luca Lunetta, meanwhile, ended the day in Q1 with the sixth-fastest time of 1’49.672, which places him twentieth on the grid for tomorrow’s race.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P16 in 1’49.661
“I’m sorry for the mistake I made in qualifying, especially because tomorrow will be a tough race. This morning we worked well and the pace was there, so it’s really a shame. Here it will be more important than ever to make a good start, because what we can gain already in the first corner could make the difference for the rest of the race. We will give our maximum to perform well in front of the home crowd”.

LUCA LUNETTA #32: P20 in 1’49.672
“I’m happy with the progress made throughout the weekend, as we were able to improve session after session and be more competitive compared to yesterday. In qualifying we gave it everything, even if starting from twentieth position is not the result we wanted. Tomorrow it will be important to get a good start and try to recover positions in the early laps. Racing at Mugello in front of the Italian fans always gives a special motivation, and we will give our best to have a strong race”.
