The seventh round of the GP3 Series took place at the cathedral of speed, Autodromo di Monza in Italy. Sandy took P5 in Friday’s free practice and the pace was looking good for the weekend.
Qualifying took place on Saturday morning and Sandy finished in a difficult 12th place, after a red flag during the session compromised his session.
Race 1 on Saturday afternoon, Sandy finished in 12th position, after a lot of position changes and an exciting race at the Monza circuit.
Race 2 on Sunday morning saw Sandy have a difficult start, but during the course of the race, Sandy managed to climb his way up to 6th position after starting 12th. During the battling with other drivers Sandy was involved in a contact, and dropped down to 12th. After race penalties Sandy classified 15th.
“It was a tough weekend, we showed that we were fast and we got the 2nd fastest lap of the race, but now we’ll have to investigate why our starts are not as good as before. Our race pace has now improved and I’m excited for Sepang in a month’s time” Sandy ended.
Sandy is sponsored by the Singha Corporation, The Pizza Company, Dacon Inspection Services, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Thai Airways, the Sports Authority of Thailand, and the Royal Automobile Association of Thailand.
