"I am very happy with my classification here in Hungary. My team and I worked hard to have the best possible result in this classification, since it influences a lot the weekend" said Enzo, who will start both races of the weekend in the points zone.
The Brazilian is living a good phase in the category, with three podiums in his first full season in the category, besides scoring points in the most important access category to the F1. Fittipaldi has been in the points zone in at least one race in the last seven double rounds, and is seventh in the championship with 76 points.
"Being able to finish in the top-10 is a very positive result, which allows us to start further ahead. The challenge will be tire management, since the Hungaroring doesn't have a long straight, which can cause excessive wear on the compounds. The focus will be on the start to try to get a podium, one more on this track," Enzo added.
The first Formula 2 race in Hungary is scheduled for 1 pm on Saturday, while race 2 is scheduled for 6:35 am on Sunday. Both races will be broadcast by BandSports.
