HUNGARIAN GP RACE: VIETTI FINISHES SEVENTH, LUNETTA EIGHTEENTH
An intense and hard-fought Hungarian Grand Prix took place at the Balaton Park Circuit, a technical and demanding track where overtaking proved particularly difficult right from the start of the weekend. In these challenging conditions, the MB Conveyors SpeedRS Team secured a valuable seventh-place finish with Celestino Vietti, while Luca Lunetta gained important experience despite crossing the line in eighteenth position.
Starting from twelfth on the grid, Celestino managed to recover positions confidently, consistently running inside the top ten before securing seventh place during the second half of the race. An important result that allows Vietti to defend third position in the world championship standings, keeping him firmly in the title fight.
A more difficult weekend instead for Luca Lunetta, who was forced to fight his way through the field on a circuit offering very few overtaking opportunities. Nevertheless, the young Italian rider showed determination and grit, climbing up to the points-paying positions. In the closing stages, however, he was unable to maintain the position he had gained and eventually finished eighteenth under the chequered flag.
The MB Conveyors SpeedRS Team now wraps up the Hungarian weekend and will return to action from June 19th to 21st at the Brno Circuit for the Czech Republic Grand Prix.
CELESTINO VIETTI #13: P7
“Overall, it was a good Sunday. In the end, we managed to turn the situation around despite it not being an easy weekend. Unfortunately, this is a track where overtaking is very difficult and, starting from the back, it wasn’t easy. Still, we managed to recover several positions. We also collected some valuable data and understood important things for the next races, especially if we find ourselves in difficulty again. All things considered, the outcome is positive: the team worked really well and we made a big step forward compared to yesterday. Thanks to everyone. Now we have a week off and we’ll arrive at the next race fully motivated to do even better”.
LUCA LUNETTA #32: P18
“It was a good start and a strong opening lap. I tried to use the race to work on myself, especially on braking, and I believe we made a step forward. Now we need to analyse everything and understand where and how we lost tenths in race pace. We have to keep working at our maximum to improve and regain our speed. See you in Brno!”.
