ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 10^th in 1’44.862

“I am very happy with this first day here at the Circuit de Catalunya, I think it is our best Friday so far! This morning we suffered a bit but in the afternoon after a few small changes to the setting we improved our sensations. It is true that we did not lower the time but the track conditions were worse. Tomorrow we will continue the same path as today and, as always, I thank the team. Mañana más!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 17^th in 1’45.408

“A bit complicated day, but we continue to work towards tomorrow’s quali. We know where we can improve and we know what we can achieve, and nothing, tomorrow will be a better day!”.
