Saturday 26th may qualifications: Several settings were changed between F.P.2 and Saturday qualifying session that should have allowed Noel and Matteo to reach the 1'57" level.
The team's strategy for this session was to launch the cars late in the session in order to have the best track conditions. Unfortunately the session was interrupted twice by red flags allowing the drivers to do at the most 2 fast laps. In these conditions it's a lottery game between drivers who will have the best conditions on their fast lap (traffic, track temperature,...)
