Today the number 64 made a huge step during the last practice session where he finished inside the top 10, earning a valuable result and showing that he’s ready to perform well despite three months away from the track. During qualifying, he continued his good momentum, but heavy traffic during his final time attack prevented him from reaching the desired lap. He finished 8th in Q1 and will ultimately start 21st on the grid – still a step forward compared with yesterday.
Yuki Kunii also made light progress. After ending yesterday in 29th place, he improved his lap time in both free practice 2 and qualifying 1. He will start tomorrow’s race from 24th position. There is still big room for improvement, but both riders are fully focused on delivering a proper race, keeping their pace, and trying to bring home the best possible result from Barcelona.
