Although he had a good launch off the line for the second Grand Prix at the Losail International Circuit from P17 today, Tech3 KTM Factory Racing’s Danilo Petrucci was in 19^th at the end of the first lap. Yet, he established himself and did lap times like the leaders towards halfway of the race. The Italian eventually crossed the line in 19^th.

Following a Friday of improvements, Tech3 KTM Factory Racing’s Danilo Petrucci did another step throughout Saturday at the Losail International Circuit. Although FP3 was literally blown away by the wind, he showed a strong Qualifying. Doing the decisive laps on his own, he managed to conclude Q1 in P7, missing out on the top two by just 0.308 seconds.

Following a rather difficult season opening last week, the Tech3 KTM Factory Racing newcomer Danilo Petrucci kicked off the Grand Prix of Doha with a better feeling today. Already in FP1 this afternoon, he managed to improve his lap time compared to last Friday by nearly one second. Free Practice two saw a lot of rush on track and in the garage, but still the Italian kept his head cool to finish in a fine P12, missing out on what could have been a provisional Q2 spot by just 0.055 seconds.
