[vc_row disable_background_image=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Saturday of the Austrian Grand Prix ends with both Beta Tools SpeedRS Team riders starting from the fifth row of the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the track still wet, Celestino Vietti and Luca Lunetta chose not to take part in FP2, preferring to play it safe and avoid unnecessary risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the afternoon, Luca delivered a strong qualifying performance. The young rookie successfully progressed through Q1, setting the third-fastest time in the first run with a lap of 1\u201933.205. In Q2, Lunetta secured 14th place with a time of 1\u201933.204, earning a start from the fifth row tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Qualifying proved more challenging for Celestino, who has always shown a good feeling with the Austrian track. The Italian rider was unable to put together the lap he had hoped for, making a few mistakes that affected his session. Despite this, Vietti finished 13th with a time of 1\u201933.119, also securing a place on the fifth row alongside his teammate.<\/span><\/p>\n

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P13 in 1\u201933.119<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning we chose not to go out for FP2 because the conditions were not yet ideal and it wasn\u2019t worth taking unnecessary risks. In qualifying, however, I was expecting something more, especially because I have always had a good feeling at this track. We will start from 13th position, so from the fifth row, which is certainly not the result we wanted, but the race is tomorrow and we still have the chance to recover\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

LUCA LUNETTA #32: P14 in 1\u201933.204<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a positive Saturday. This morning we practically couldn\u2019t do anything because the track conditions were not good: it was half dry and half wet, and we wouldn\u2019t have been able to work on anything concrete, so we preferred to stay in the garage. Qualifying went well and I\u2019m happy to have made it from Q1 into Q2. I wasn\u2019t able to put all the sectors together perfectly, as our ideal time was a couple of tenths faster, but I\u2019m happy with the step forward we made. In every session we manage to improve, and the gap to the front gets smaller and smaller, and that\u2019s the most important thing. Now we have to focus on tomorrow\u2019s race. We start 14th, but we are very motivated to recover positions and move forward\u201d.<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
