Front row for Andrea Dovizioso who took second place in difficult conditions at Silverstone today. With the track still wet in some sectors, Dovizioso powered his best lap time in 2’10.314 and tomorrow’s British GP has now been moved to a new time of 11.30 BST (12.30 CET) to avoid the risk of torrential rain expected in the early afternoon.
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team #04) – 2nd (2’10.314)
“All things considered, today went very well because in these conditions it was easy to make errors: three-quarters of the track was completely dry and managing to do a good time with the rain tyres was really difficult, but we succeeded. It was vital to start from the front row because tomorrow it’ll probably rain; as we haven’t really lapped in the wet we don’t know what to expect and so starting from the front is for sure an advantage. We’ve been competitive and fast this weekend, and in the dry we are in good shape, then tomorrow if it rains we’ll find new conditions, but it’s the same for everyone and we’ll try and adapt to the situation in the best way.”
