QATAR GP: BETA TOOLS SPEED UP CLOSES QUALIFYING IN SECOND AND FOURTH ROW

Qualifying for the Qatar GP on the Lusail International Circuit has just concluded. With Aldeguer’s fourth place and López’s tenth, the Beta Tools SpeedUp riders will start tomorrow from the second and fourth rows of the grid, respectively.

After a pit stop in the middle of FP3, the young Fermín returned to the track with the turbo, taking first place in 1’57.895. With the best time of the combined, the number 54 passed directly to the evening Q2 where he finished with the fourth fastest time in 1’57.432, just +0.127 from the pole man. The rider from Murcia will therefore start tomorrow from the second row of the grid.

More complicated start for López who instead had to pass through Q1 due to the twentieth position in the combined classification (1’58.927). The number 21 then managed to face Q2 where a red flag at the end of the session unfortunately prevented him from completing his fastest lap. With a time of 1’58.092, the Madrilenian closed the Qatari qualifying in P10 and will start his race tomorrow from the fourth row of the starting grid.

ALDEGUER #54: 4th  in 1’57.432

“Today I came close to parc fermé. During the first session I lacked a bit of grip on the track while in qualifying I felt super good and in fact we kept the pace high. I definitely made some mistakes but I will try to fix them before the race. The goal for tomorrow is to finish in the top 3”.

LÓPEZ #21: 10th  in 1’58.092

“I am happy with today’s result. Even though there were some problems in FP3, in Q1 we were competitive and kept the pace high. Then in Q2 we were unlucky because, when I was about to do a fast lap, they waved the red flag and interrupted the session”.
