FIRST PODIUM OF THE SEASON FOR LÓPEZ AT THE AMERICAS GP, VIETTI CRASHES TWO LAPS FROM THE END
The HDR Heidrun Team leaves the Americas Grand Prix with mixed feelings: on one hand, joy and satisfaction for the first podium of the season achieved by Alonso López; on the other hand, disappointment for Celestino Vietti’s exit just two laps from the end, after a remarkable comeback.
The race, declared wet from the start, required quick adaptation to the challenging track conditions, with a timely tire change and setup adjustments. Alonso impressed with a brilliant start, swiftly climbing to second place and maintaining an excellent pace despite the rain. López then had to give way to Arbolino but remained focused until the checkered flag, securing a valuable third place. An important result that marks the first podium of the season for the Spanish rider and the second for Team HDR Heidrun.
Unfortunately, Celestino Vietti’s race ended quite differently. After a spirited start that saw him break into the top 10, the Italian rider found an extraordinary rhythm, gaining positions until he was right behind his teammate. However, just two laps from the finish, a slide compromised his race, and despite his attempt to get back on track, a second crash at Turn 13 definitively ended his quest for the podium.
Next race: Qatar GP, April 11-13.
ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 3rd
“When I saw it was raining I was happy because, as demonstrated on Friday, we had a good pace in the wet. In these conditions it was easy to make mistakes, instead we brought home an excellent third place. Now we have to work to be competitive in the dry too. Now there are tracks that I like and where we can do very well. I dedicate this race to my mechanic Floppy who unfortunately got hurt at the beginning of the season and missed these first races”.
CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 20th
“I’m really sorry and I want to apologize to the team because I made a really stupid mistake. After this mistake I even managed to restart but unfortunately I relapsed. I had a good feeling with the bike and the team had done a great job on the Boscoscuro in a short time. It could have been a good Sunday but instead it didn’t go that way. I hope it serves as a lesson. Thanks to everyone for the work done and see you in Qatar!”.
