Qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix ended on a positive note for the Beta Tools SpeedRS Team. Celestino Vietti will start from the second row, while Alonso López will line up on the fourth.

Despite a technical issue during FP2, Vietti managed to end the morning session with a solid fourth-fastest time of 1:50.206. López finished free practice in twelfth position, setting a lap of 1’50.537.

In the afternoon, with hotter track conditions and a few yellow flag interruptions, the riders returned to the track for Q2. Celestino, thanks to a strong second run, stopped the clock at 1’50.023, securing the sixth-best time and a second-row start for tomorrow’s home race.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 7th – 1:50.023

“The feeling has been good this weekend: we’re confirming the positive sensations we had during the test and working in the right direction. We were competitive again today, both in the race simulation this morning and in the afternoon time attack, where we posted a strong lap. It’s a shame I didn’t manage a completely clean lap—I wasn’t able to put everything together perfectly—but overall, I’m satisfied. Tomorrow, a strong start will be crucial to gain positions early and avoid being stuck in the heat coming off the other bikes. Tyre management will be key, but we’re confident we can have a good race”.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 12th – 1:50.287

“The heat made it difficult to put together a perfect qualifying session. From the very first lap, I tried to push to the maximum and was able to set a good time already on the first run. We could have shaved off a bit more, but overall I’m happy with the fourth row. Tomorrow, a good start will be essential: we’ll give it our all and hope to match or even improve on last year’s result!”.
