THE RIDERS OF THE BETA TOOLS SPEEDRS TEAM GO STRAIGHT INTO Q2 ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SPANISH GP

The first European round of the season marks an important change for the team, which lines up under a new name: SpeedRS Team, with the livery signed by Beta Tools. 

Alonso López showed great feeling with the Boscoscuro right from the start, finishing the first session in ninth place with a time of 1’40.734. In the afternoon, despite less favorable conditions for improving lap times, number 21 clocked a solid 1’40.912, which earned him 11th place.

There were also clear signs of progress for Celestino Vietti. After a more cautious start in FP1, where he finished P22 with a time of 1’41.469, the Italian rider responded with determination during the afternoon Practice. Thanks to the team’s work on the bike setup, Vietti significantly improved his pace, stopping the clock at 1’40.879, a time that secured him 10th position.

A solid and promising first day for the Beta Tools SpeedRS Team, now heading into tomorrow’s qualifying with both riders directly into Q2.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 11th in 1’40.912
“In the afternoon the conditions were a bit more difficult than in the morning, but we still managed to stay in the top 14 and earn direct access to Q2. Tomorrow we’ll try to take another step forward to get even closer to the front. I really like this track — the atmosphere is special and I know I can do well. We’ll see what tomorrow has in store for us”.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 10th in 1’40.879

“It wasn’t the easiest first day, but at the same time, we weren’t slow. We’re still missing something compared to the front runners, especially in sectors 3 and 4. We’re working on understanding the right direction to take and identifying the areas we need to improve. Today, we’ll take a close look at the data to be better prepared and more confident for tomorrow. We need to find the right compromise to be more effective in every sector”.
