FIRST HIT BY VERSTAPPEN. Some mis-haps for some CRG color bearers were mitigated by the performance scored by the new WSK Euro Series KZ1champion Max Verstappen (CRG-Tm), who, after being 5th in qualifying obtained the first win in the only qualifying heat the Dutch driver took part in.
Things did not go that well for the others members of the “all blacks” team as they were struck by a bit of “mala suerte” withJordon Lennox-Lamb (CRG-Bmb) and FeliceTiene (CRG-Parilla), having an accident at the start in the heat won byVerstappen.
Lennox had sometime immediately, while Tiene rejoined last and put in a damage limitation race ended in 17th, right behind team mate Alex Palou (CRG-Parilla), good 16th.
In KF Junior bitter start for the Romanian Marcu Dionisios (CRG-Bmb), 25th qualifying and involved in an accident in the heat.
All in all CRG ‘s start was not ideal, exception made for Verstappen but there is still plenty of time to recover the lost grounding Saturday.
Max Verstappen commented his first acquaintance with the spectacular Motorland Aragon of Alcaniz in this way: “So far this is the best track in the world to me. Qualifying did not start so well but we identified and solved a problem to the chassis and later on things were much better in the heats an we found a good speed.”
