The Saturday of the German Grand Prix ended with mixed feelings for the MB Conveyors SpeedRS Team. Luca Lunetta secured access to Q2 and will start tomorrow’s race from twelfth on the grid, while Celestino Vietti was unable to make it through Q1 and will have to start from the eighth row.

In FP2, Lunetta confirmed the progress shown throughout the weekend, finishing the session in twelfth place with a lap time of 1’22.840. The free practice session was more challenging for Vietti, who ended the session in seventeenth position with a time of 1’22.916.

In qualifying, rider #32 raised the bar even further. After dominating Q1 with the fastest lap of 1’22.269, Luca secured his place in Q2, where he stopped the clock at 1’22.127. This result earned him twelfth place on the grid and a start from the fourth row in tomorrow’s race.

A more difficult day for Vietti. The Turin rider was unable to find the right feeling with the Sachsenring circuit and, despite several attempts, he finished Q1 with a time of 1’22.535. This result means he will start from twenty-second position, on the eighth row, and will face a race that will require a strong comeback.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P22 in 1’22.535

“We are working to improve, and the guys are helping me a lot. Today we made some steps forward, although there is still a lot of work to do. We will try to fine-tune everything to have the best possible race tomorrow, even if it won’t be easy. It will be a race where managing the rear tyre will be crucial, and we will try to work in the best possible way”.

LUCA LUNETTA #32: P12 in 1’22.127

“It has been a very positive day. This morning in FP2 we continued testing some solutions on the bike to improve the front end, which is the only area where we are still having some issues. It looks like we have found a good direction, and we arrived ready for qualifying. In Q1 I managed to be the fastest and secure the pass into Q2. In the second session I wasn’t able to put all the sectors together perfectly, as also shown by the ideal lap time, but I am still very happy and satisfied with the work we have done. By now we have consolidated our speed: we have been competitive and fast throughout the whole weekend, so I am very confident ahead of tomorrow’s race. This afternoon we will have to work hard after the sessions, analyse all the data together with the team, and make the best choice, especially regarding the rear tyre. We are ready for tomorrow: the desire to do well is really strong”.
