The Tech3Racing Team experienced a tough opening day at the Italian Grand Prix. While Bo Bendsneyder started with a decent performance in FP1, he struggled during today’s afternoon session. On the other side, Hector Garzo, who is riding the Mistral 610 for the third time this season in place of Remy Gardner, did his first laps at the tricky circuit in the Tuscan hills and was hampered in his process by a slight trip to the gravel this morning, but recovered nearly half a second in FP2.
Bo Bendsneyder; Position: 24th – Time: 1’53.797 – Laps: 38
“The position doesn’t really reflect our potential overall today, as it was quite ok, apart from FP2, where we were not able to make the step that we wanted. Now we’re taking a close look at the data and I hope this will help us to improve tomorrow, as I’m quite sure we’ll find some points to progress.”
