SAUCY IS THE FASTEST AT ADRIA COLLECTIVE TESTS

Morning and afternoon, it is always the Swiss Grégoire Saucy to set the best lap times of the collective tests

20/04/2018 – In the collective tests in Adria, that have taken place today, the day just before the first appointment of the 2018 F4 Championship Powered by Abarth, Grégoire Suacy () has been the fastest both in the morning and in the afternoon, with 1’15”621, then improved to 1’15”419. Second of the day has been the Italian Federico Malvestiti (Jenzer Motorsport) with 1’15”466, and third another Italian, Leonardo Lorandi ( Srl), setting best lap time at 1’15”547.

“We have worked well with Team Jenzer, also thanks to the fact that with 6 drivers we have a lot of data to share”, Saucy has commented. “Circuit is not long, but it is quite difficult as it has many curves. Still, I like it and I have felt comfortable. I had some issues with the chicanes, but we fixed the problem.”

Astonishing is the number of laps driven by the young drivers of the Powered by Abarth, among which some have come close to 150. Total number of laps driven by the 31 drivers at Adria has equalled 3301, for total 8919 km. All of this, together with the constant support of the instructors of the Scuola Federale ACI Sport, is key for the preparation, maturation and safety of the drivers that, often, come directly from karting.

Tomorrow from 10:20 to 11:00 and from 13:10 to 13:50 Official Free Practice are programmed, while Qualifying will be organized in two sessions from 17:40 to 17:55 and from 18:05 to 18:20. Sunday the three races will start at 9:00, race 1, 13:00 race 2 and 17:00 race 3.
