SUPERB SECOND ROW FOR ENEA AT BURIRAM
#ThaiGP qualifying.There is margin to attack tomorrow in the Thai Grand Prix as Enea Bastianini secured a spot on the second row of the grid for the 17th round of the 2022 season. It was a Saturday in crescendo for the number 23 who managed to make it to Q2 from the main door following this morning’s FP3, before setting the sixth quickest time in the afternoon’s qualifying despite a few obstacles in the way.
It wasn’t a Saturday to remember, on the other hand, for Fabio Di Giannantonio, who worked hard during free practice to find a suitable set-up for this track – without much luck. His 1’30.794s lap-time translates in a seventh row start, which equals his worst qualifying of the season – dating back to Losail on March 5th.
6th – ENEA BASTIANINI #23 (1’29.988s)
“We’re happy. We made an important step forward this morning both riding and set-up wise. In qualifying I couldn’t get a proper clean lap, but we managed to push hard on the last lap despite a few little mistakes. Second row is good and we can have a good race tomorrow, but surely we’ll need something extra.”
21st – FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO #49 (1’30.794s)
“It wasn’t a good day at all. We made some modifications to the bike that didn’t work and we didn’t manage to improve our best lap of the weekend. With a result such as this one it’ll be hard in the race tomorrow, but we we’re not giving up and we’ll work hard for a good comeback.”
