#GBRGP – FOURTH ROW FOR VIETTI IN BRITISH GP QUALIFYING. LUNETTA STOPS IN Q1
The GT Trevisan SpeedRS Team wrapped up Saturday at the British Grand Prix with Celestino Vietti qualifying 12th and set to start tomorrow’s race from the fourth row. Luca Lunetta, meanwhile, will line up 24th on the grid after stopping in Q1.
Vietti continued his set-up work in FP2, using the session to evaluate different solutions on his Boscoscuro rather than focusing on a single flying lap. The Ciriè rider finished the session 21st with a 2’03.267, before making a significant step forward in qualifying. A lap of 2’02.431 secured 12th place in Q2 and a fourth-row start for Sunday’s race.
It was a tougher Saturday for Lunetta, who ended the final free practice session 28th with a 2’04.312. The rookie was unable to find the necessary pace in Q1 to break into the top four and progress to Q2, eventually qualifying 24th with a 2’03.228. He will start from the eighth row tomorrow, aiming to make the most of the opening laps and launch a charge towards the points.
CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P12 in 2’02.431
“It’s not the position we were aiming for, but we are working in the right direction. The team is helping me a lot, especially as I’m struggling a little more than usual at this track. Tomorrow, it will be important to manage the rear tyre well and manage it throughout the race. I’ll give it my all to have a strong race and bring home the best result possible”.
LUCA LUNETTA #32: P24 in 2’03.228
“It was a day of a lot of work, and now we need to analyse everything carefully to understand where we can improve. The track is long, and I need to keep working on both the bike and my riding. Today, we were only missing a few tenths to be more competitive, but we have good race pace and the bike is giving us positive feedback. With the right tyre management, we shouldn’t have any particular issues, which is definitely a positive. The team did a great job and, as always, I want to thank everyone for their great support. Now our focus is on tomorrow, with plenty of motivation and the desire to fight our way forward”.
