And here we are finally making our debut in the third race of the season. We missed the Friday practice because the weather was bad so they would not bring any benefit to the race. The weather on Saturday morning arrived with the worst conditions: heavy rain and the track reduced to a kind of lake. Half an hour before our qualifying session, the rain starts to slow down gradually until they ceased entirely at the time had come to the track.
so a big question was posed: use the rain tires, rain, or wait until the first drivers entering dry carved paths to use the tires? We decided to follow the second road and with a bit of luck we place a great third period of Trivento ranking on the grid. In the afternoon the situation was completely reversed with a bright sun that dried whole track and put in crisis the attitude that we had developed in the wet, making me go back a couple of places. Better still almost made the second time by clocking a best lap of 1'40 "4. With the team we ended up a bit 'in crisis staying late in the evening to try alternative solutions to solve the problems of setting it were created during the qualifying session in the afternoon. The changes we test on Sunday morning in the warm-up, however, committing an error that we will pay dear in the race: utilizziamo nelle prove l'ultimo treno di gomme rimasto a nostra disposizione. Parto per la gara già con gomme usate che al quinto passaggio iniziano a scivolare impedendmi di spingere per tutta la durata della gara e costringendomi correre con un margine di riserva. Nonostante gli inconvenienti concludo comunque in quinta posizione, un ottimo piazzamento considerando che è la prima gara e in ottica punti per il campionato.
