VALENCIA GP QUALIFYING: VIETTI IN FOURTH ROW, LÓPEZ OUT OF Q2

Celestino Vietti secured 10th place in the qualifying session for the Valencian Community Grand Prix, earning a spot on the fourth row of the starting grid. A more challenging day for Alonso López, who failed to make it through Q1.

Vietti had an intense morning, dedicating the 30 minutes of FP2 to a race simulation: he made only one pit stop for minor adjustments and did not change tires, finishing the session in 18th position but showing promising pace for the race. In Q2, Celestino went after a time attack, setting the 10th fastest lap in 1’32.157, securing his place on the fourth row of the grid.

For López, FP2 ended in 19th place (1’33.390), while in Q1 he was unable to advance to the decisive phase, finishing 5th in the session with a lap time of 1’32.551. He will start from the seventh row tomorrow.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 19th in 1’32.551
“This is not the result we were hoping for. We lack the competitiveness to fight for a top-10 position, but we remain focused on our goal of getting the best possible result. It’s the last race of the season, and we want to finish it in the best way”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 10th in 1’32.157
“Today went better; we made great progress, even if we are still a bit off the pace of the leaders. Tomorrow it will be crucial to manage the tires well, but as always, we aim for a strong start and to give our maximum in the race”.
