A challenging first day of action at the Lusail International Circuit ends with Adrián Fernández and David Almansa in 16th and 17th position respectively:

Sunny skies welcomed us for Free Practice 1 this afternoon.
Testing the feeling in hot conditions from the beginning of the session, both Le0pard riders improved their times progressively. Adrián Fernández finished 9th with a 2’05.366, ahead of teammate David Almansa, 10th with a time of 2’05.449.
The night brought a difficult Practice session for the two Spaniards, both missing out on Q2. Adrián Fernández finished Friday in 16th place with a time of 2’04.630, while David Almansa did so in 17th, setting a 2’04.777.
See you tomorrow for qualifying day.

“It has not been the easiest day. We lacked a bit of confidence, not being able to find either the right feeling nor the pace. We are already analysing everything in order to improve and solve the problems we had today for tomorrow’s qualifying”

Adrián Fernández

16th

“We have finished Friday with a bittersweet taste because things didn’t go as we would have liked today. We had a problem in the first session, and then our strategy for Practice didn’t work out well. Today was a tough one, but tomorrow is another day”
