Despite difficult weather conditions, with cold temperatures and heavy rain, Naël delivered a remarkable performance in the famous “Temple of Speed.”
Race Highlights
- Race One: Due to the cancellation of the first qualifying session, the starting grid was established from the last practice session. Théophile started in 10th position and, despite starting behind the safety car in the rain, he skilfully worked his way up to finish in fourth place, just short of the podium.
- Second Race: Showing his mastery, Théophile secured his first pole position in the championship during the second qualifying session. Despite several stoppages, he maintained a steady pace and finished the race in fourth place after a red-flag finish.
Reflections by Theophilus
Théophile expressed his satisfaction with the weekend’s results: “Getting my first pole position and that of our team was an important moment. The second race was intense with battles against top competitors like Enzo, but Prema Racing had an advantage. Despite losing a few places, finishing fourth was a good result.”
