F1 | Alfa Romeo, Antonio Giovinazzi: “We will have to be perfect in qualifying”

Italian driver on a car with an Italian soul: what better ambassador for the Made in Italy grand prix than Antonio Giovinazzi, who brings the tricolor to the track on the Imola circuit, even with a special livery for his helmet. Antonio placed his C41 in fifteenth place in the first session, two tenths slower than teammate Kimi Raikkonen; the situation was completely reversed in the afternoon, with Giovinazzi finishing in ninth position, while the Finn was only seventeenth.

F1 | Imola, free practice analysis: Ferrari is really there, also good on race pace

"This weekend is off to a good start – the Italian driver made his debut with the engines off – FP1 went well, there were some problems with the radio. and data, but it is a problem shared by all. I was very happy with the car in the afternoon, both in the long runs and in the fast laps. We need to fix some details to make the car top for qualifying, we know it will be tough, even more than Bahrain. It's difficult to say where we could be, because a small difference between one lap and another could cost us a lot: we have to do a perfect lap in qualifying".
