The Team Snipers returns to Europe after the first race in Qatar, finding itself at the Portimao circuit for the Portuguese Grand Prix.
This Friday, the first session was canceled due to the impracticable conditions of the circuit; conditions dictated by the dirt left due to the weather of the previous days.
The second session of the weekend, which therefore becomes the first, marks the debut on track of Hamad Al-Sahouti, who replaces the injured David Almansa.
A challenging debut for Hamad, who fails to set a provisional time sufficient for participation in the qualifiers.
On the other side of the Box, Matteo Bertelle instead shows immediately great speed and confidence, closing this first session in third position.
Matteo’s words after the session: “I’m surprised I went so fast because the track continues to be quite dirty, but I feel good on the bike, speed is not lacking.”
