MUMBAI: Armaan Ebrahim finished overall sixth quickest in the first Formula 2 pre-season.
Sponsored by JK Tyre, Amaron, Cornerstone Sports & Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Trimex, Ebrahim clocked a best of one minute, 50.747 seconds in the
day’s last session on new tyres and using the boost while completing a total of 59 laps over the renovated 5.9 kms circuit.
“I didn’t have a good start since my seat arrived late and I missed almost the entire first hour of the morning session though I put in one lap before
the session ended. In the second hour, two red flags interrupted my flying laps. However, I had a good afternoon session after lunch and I could have
finished much higher on new tyres, but twice I used the boost late and lost fractions,” Ebrahim said.
“Moreover, this is the first time I am driving on the new layout at the Silverstone circuit and was focusing on understanding the new corners more
accurately than trying to put in quick lap times. Overall, I am quite happy to finish in the top six as we achieved the targets set out by us for this test.
Topping the time sheets in a test was not our objective, but to learn the track and get a good balance with the car is what we set out to achieve. For
sure, we will attack the times and the leader board chart at the new Snetterton 300 track on March 30 during the second pre-season testing and get
ready for the first race two weeks later,” he added.
The next pre-season testing is at Snetterton before the season’s opening two rounds at Silverstone scheduled for 15-17 April.
