The #13 team focused on bike setup and finding the best configuration for the Italian rider, who completed 51 laps yesterday with a best time of 1’43.385. Today, he increased his pace, completing 60 laps and improving his time to 1’42.323. Vietti quickly adapted to the bike, showing excellent progress and great synergy with the team.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21:
“After missing yesterday’s session, today was crucial to make the most of every lap and work on every possible aspect. I’m satisfied with the feeling with the bike, although there’s still room for improvement. The team has worked really well, and we’ve gathered important data to prepare for the first race. Now we focus on the Jerez tests, where we’ll continue to push to be ready for the start of the season”.
CELESTINO VIETTI #13:
“I’m satisfied because we’ve seen improvements during these two days of testing. We’ve figured out the direction to take and what I like about the bike, trying to adapt it as much as possible to my riding style. We’re working in the right direction, and there’s a great feeling with the team. It was a positive first approach in every way. Now, we need to continue on this path in Jerez to be ready for the first race”.
