VIETTI FIGHTS BACK TO FIFTH PLACE, WHILE LÓPEZ LEAVES GERMANY EMPTY-HANDED
A race full of drama unfolded today at the Sachsenring, marked by multiple crashes and an early end due to a red flag with four laps to go. Celestino Vietti wrapped up the German Grand Prix with an excellent fifth place after a remarkable comeback, while Alonso López crashed out just a few laps into the race.
Vietti once again demonstrated great determination and composure in managing the race. Starting from 18th on the grid, the rider from Cirié got off to a brilliant start and maintained a steady, competitive pace comparable to the race leaders. This allowed him to steadily climb through the pack and fight for podium positions. In the final stages, Celestino was locked in a battle with Gonzalez for sixth place when two riders ahead crashed, shaking up the standings. Race Direction decided to red-flag the race after 21 laps, freezing the classification at the previous lap. The Italian rider thus secured a solid fifth place, earning valuable points in the championship standings, though with a hint of regret for a fourth place that seemed within reach.
It was a tough day for Alonso, who slid out just a few laps into the race. Fortunately, the Madrid-born rider was unhurt, but the German weekend ended without any points for him.
CELESTINO VIETTI #13: 5th
“I’m satisfied with the race because we managed to limit the damage caused by yesterday’s qualifying. We confirmed the pace we had on Friday in dry conditions, and that’s a positive sign. Today the track conditions were slightly different, there was less grip, which made it harder to maintain the same rhythm. Also, since I had to come back from so far behind, I struggled in the final laps with both the front and the left rear tyre. Overall, it was a good race, and we did well to avoid mistakes. It was a constant battle, especially with Gonzalez towards the end. We were competitive and did the best we could considering our starting position. Now we hope to be just as fast in Brno, but with a better start and a stronger qualifying”.
ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: DNF
“Unfortunately, the race ended too soon for me. I made a mistake in the early stages and crashed. It’s a real shame because we had the potential to do well, but things didn’t go as we hoped today. Now we have to turn the page and focus on the next weekend”.
