FERRARI IN Q2: HE WILL START FROM TENTH PLACE ON THE GRID
The home feeling is there at Misano, as Matteo Ferrari started on the right foot by earning the direct seed to Q2: he finished qualifying in tenth place, seven tenths away from pole position. The rider #11 will need to work with the team ahead of the final two races of the season, as he is losing ground on the straight.
His teammate Alessio Finello had a bit more of a difficult time after making steps forward in recent races and getting close to the top ten. Forced to go through Q1, he struggled in getting up to speed and finished qualifying in fifteenth place. Two comeback races from row 5 await him: his home crowd will surely give him a boost.
10th – MATTEO FERRARI #11 (1’40.596)
“Generally speaking, it was quite a good day: we didn’t use the best set-up in qualifying but we tried something to improve. We’re still missing something as we struggle on the straight: we’ll try to find a solution for tomorrow.”
15th – ALESSIO FINELLO #72 (1’41.160)
“We did improve throughout the day but we’re far from the top positions. We’ll get to work immediately in order to find something that allow us to get closer to the frontrunners. We’re not too far from the top ten, but further away compared to previous races: I’m struggling a bit at this track but we still managed to make a step forward and surely we’ll find away to improve some more in tomorrow’s two races.”
