22 April 2022 – Autódromo Internacional do Algarve – Portugal

Free practice 1 of the Portuguese Grand Prix was held with a wet track and low temperatures. The 11ºC on the ground and the rain made the track very slippery. A lot of falls, including the one of our Ayumu who, on the end of the session, slipped at turn 8.

David, who arrived last night at the circuit, got familiar with the wet track and at the last of the seventeen laps he got the best lap of 2’03.551. With this performance our rookie is fifth, with a gap from session leader D. Holgado of 0.893 seconds.
Seventh position for Ayumu, who got the time of 2’03.921. Eighteen laps completed and gap of 1.263 s.

Free practice 2 will start at 13.15 (GMT +1).
