Campionato Italiano ACI – Circuito Internazionale Napoli 🇮🇹 Rd3
The weekend started on a high with an amazing qualifying performance on Friday: P1 in my group and P2 overall on outright pace. Unfortunately, I missed the compulsory third lap by just a few seconds, meaning my second-best lap was recorded instead. That officially put me P2 in my group and P4 overall out of 40 Drivers.
The heats were tough, but the pace was there throughout. I finished P4 in Heat 1, P6 in Heat 2 and P2 in the third heat, crossing the line just 0.083 seconds behind the first.
In the Prefinal, I started from the outside in P6. After dropping to P10 at the start, I fought my way back with four strong overtakes to finish P6.
Starting P9 for the Final, I was confident we could achieve a great result. I quickly worked my way up to P5 before a red flag brought the race to a halt. Unfortunately, the restart didn't go our way. An engine issue cost me valuable seconds and threw me to the back of the field, and despite making 10 overtakes, I could only recover to P21 at the finish.
It wasn't the ending we had hoped for or deserved, but this weekend was a real statement of our potential. The speed, the race pace, and the incredible work of everyone behind me showed that we're capable of fighting at the very front.
A huge thank you to my team, my sponsors, and everyone supporting me. We'll come back stronger. 💪🏁
