First Qualifying Provisional Classification
“I am pleased for the pole position, but cannot say anything until the result of the race this afternoon. I am really happy that since Red Bull Ring the team has found a new line and the correct solutions to the difficult start of the season. All the team, engineers and mechanics, have worked a lot for this, and also I believe we drivers have given the right support to obtain these performances. I personally have worked hard to be sure that once the car was there I was also ready”, has commented Paul Aron after QP1.
Race 1 this afternoon will start at 14.55, for 30′ plus 1 lap race, where the show should be really good with the long straights and fast corners of the spectacular Mugello Circuit.
