Trident GP2 Sprint review

P6 JOHNNY CECOTTO

Johnny had a great race today as well, earing another 4 points that are certainly good for the Team and driver. The start was good and after the first lap he had already earned the 7th position. The pace of the race was always good and the tires were managed in the best of ways keeping their ware under control. In closing his overtaking of Evans in the last laps of the race must be remembered that allowed him to complete the Sprint race in P6.

Final Position: P6Position on Grid: P8Tires on grid start: Hard Prime Orange

DRIVER's QUOTE:"It's been another consistent race today with an excellent pace. We put some more important points in our pocket and are leaving Barcelona 4th in the championship, we couldn't ask for more. We lost a bit of time and used the tyres a bit more than we wanted behind Mitch Evans but we had a really good fight. I think we had the potential to finish on the podium again today but we are really happy about the weekend. Now we have to prepare well for Monaco and try and collect as many points as possible there as well."

P18 SERGIO CANAMASAS

In the Sprint Race , Sergio was the author of a great start that brought him from 17th to the 13th position. His race pace was always good and the same compared to those in the top positions but from the middle of the race, Sergio complained about a strange ware of the tires. In any case, he fought till the end of the race in order to reach the point zone but in the last laps, he had to defend himself waring even more so the tires losing in this way positions closing the race in P18.

Final Position: P18Position on Grid: P17Tires on grid start: Hard Prime Orange

DRIVER's QUOTE:"I am happy for how the race went today even if the final result does not demostrate our potential. I manage to maintain a good pace for the entire race, the same of the top ten. Even the feeling with the car decisively improved from yesterday and I fought the whole time in order to reach the point zone. Unfortunately during the last laps I hade to defend my position waringthe tires and losing pace and positions. This weekend helped me a lot above all to understand the behaviour of the Pirelli tires and their management that becomes fundamental for good results."
