Just a few days after the race in Australia, the team returned to the track for the opening day of the Malaysian Grand Prix, where both riders were unable to gain direct access to Q2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celestino Vietti, winner of the Malaysian race in 2024 after a recovery period from injury, faced some difficulties today. After a strong start in FP1 with the sixth fastest time of 2\u201904.644, the number 13 of the Sync SpeedRS Team couldn\u2019t improve in the Practice session. With a best lap of 2\u201905.201, Vietti finished in P23 and will have to go through Q1 tomorrow to fight for a spot in the final qualifying session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alonso L\u00f3pez also had a demanding day. Despite making progress compared to the morning session, which he finished in P24 (2\u201905.831), his best lap in Practice (2\u201905.175 \u2013 P22) wasn\u2019t enough to place him inside the top 14 and secure direct access to tomorrow\u2019s Q2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>ALONSO L\u00d3PEZ #21: 22nd &#8211; 2\u201905.175<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the morning I struggled to find the rhythm, but in the afternoon we managed to make a small step forward. We\u2019re still missing something to be truly competitive, but the feeling is improving and I\u2019m confident that in Q1 we can do a good job and fight to enter Q2\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 23rd &#8211; 2\u201905.201<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t an easy Friday. In FP1 I felt quite good, but in the afternoon we struggled to find the right feeling.
