Thanks to a lap of 1\u201942.684, he finished in P10. In the afternoon, during the second run, Alonso managed to stop the clock at 1\u201942.417, a time that earned him twelfth place, just +0.224 off the top. A very small margin that secured him direct access to Q2 tomorrow.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good start to the day also for Vietti, who set a 1\u201942.729 to end FP1 in twelfth place. In the Practice session, however, rider #13 saw his chances of entering the top fourteen vanish due to a mistake and a yellow flag, which compromised his final two attempts. Vietti thus finished the day in twentieth place with a time of 1\u201942.866 and will have to go through Q1 tomorrow.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>ALONSO L\u00d3PEZ #21: 12th in 1\u201942.417<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was a good first day of practice here in Barcelona.
