Ferrari take top 3 slots on Spa grid
Maranello, 6 May –Jaime Melo and Toni Vilander will start tomorrow’s Spa 100 Kms from pole position in their Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, with a lap time of 2.20.743 set by Melo and their AF Corse team-mates Giancarlo Fisichella and Gimmi Bruni are third on the grid in 2.21.086. Sandwiched between them and on the front row in second place are Rob Bell and James Walker who set a time of 2.20.915 in their Ferrari 458 Italia entered by the British JMW Motorsport team. “If it had not been for a yellow flag on my quick lap I could have done better,” said Fisichella, who is on the books as a Scuderia Ferrari driver. “Unfortunately, a car ahead of me spun and luckily I managed to miss him, going on to take third spot on the grid. The car has improved and we have found and sorted out a few small problems which means I am very confident for tomorrow. The weather forecast is good so there is reason to be hopeful.” The famous event at the Belgian track is the second round of the Le Mans Series and of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and gets underway at 14.05 tomorrow local time.
