QATARGP QUALIFYING: LÓPEZ COMES CLOSE TO THE POLE POSITION WHILE ALDEGUER FINISHES IN P10

The second day of the first grand prix of the 2024 season ended with a sensational second place for López and a tenth position for Aldeguer. The Sync SpeedUp Team will start tomorrow from the first and fourth rows of the starting grid.

A challenging start to the day for Alonso who closed the session in thirteenth position in FP2 in 1’57.908. The number 21 then showed off his skills on the Boscoscuro, coming close to pole by just +0.102 from the first with a time of 1’56.890. Alonshow therefore closed the day by obtaining second place in the standings and tomorrow he will start his race starting from the front line.

During free practice 2, Aldeguer was able to keep the rhythm high until he achieved fourth position with a time of 1’57.557. A decisive pace which, despite promising great results for qualifying, during Q2 Fermín was unable to complete his fastest lap, finishing seventh in 1’57.362. Unfortunately, the situation changed after the race direction’s decision to penalize him by three positions on the starting grid for having slowed down and bothered Arenas during Q2. With tenth position, the number 54 will start from the fourth row of the grid tomorrow.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 2nd in 1’56.890

“I started confidently on the Boscoscuro but I didn’t expect to come close to pole, and with such a close gap to Canet. The pace was very good and for tomorrow I’m sure we can have a good race.”

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 10° in 1’57.362 

“I started with the idea of conquering the pole. We could have easily entered the top 3 but we weren’t able to complete the fastest lap. Now we need to free our mind and concentrate on making a great comeback tomorrow.”
