Ninth row for Bendsneyder at the San Marino Grand Prix

Bo Bendsneyder had to contest in Q1. The Dutch rider was one of the first riders to set the fastest time of the session to secure a pass to Q2. Bendsneyder tried to set a good time, especially during the first few laps, however the track conditions were difficult and he was unable to improve the time. Tomorrow he will start from twenty-seventh position on the grid.

P27 | 1:39.227
“Today we had a completely different day than yesterday so it was new again for us. This morning I didn’t feel good but we found something and I made some good laps at the end of FP3 so this gave us confidence for the qualifying. During Q1, it started to rain a bit as soon as we went out and my first thinking was to push from the beginning because it was raining more. Finally, we did four or three laps we were a bit unlucky because the people behind saw that there was grip so they were faster and after two laps I closed the gas a bit and I tried to make a good lap. The rain was heavier and we couldn’t improve. The most important thing is that we gave everything and we are finding a better feeling with the bike. Hopefully it will be a really nice day tomorrow”.
