Thomas Biagi with stunning pole position in Brno

Thomas Biagi with stunning pole position in Brno

19.05.2013: Thomas Biagi and Mercedes-AMG's pairing continue to be one of the motives of the Superstars Series 2013.




Thomas Biagi and Mercedes-AMG's pairing continue to be one of the motives of the Superstars Series 2013.



The Italian driver, race two winner of Monza's opener, secured today a stunning pole position (2'08.715) in Brno (CZ) that will allow him tomorrow to start the first race of the second round of the season ahead of everybody else and that already increased his standings score by one point.


The front row will be completed by Giovanni Berton (BMW), while the second row will be occupied by Thomas Biagi's team mate, Vitantonio Liuzzi (Mercedes-AMG) and Fabrizio Giovanardi (Porsche). Third row for Gianni Morbidelli (Audi) and Luigi Ferrara (Mercedes-AMG).



Thomas Biagi: "
Since free practice I felt comfortable with this track. We knew that due to the 50kg sportive ballast we would have had only one attempt in qualifying to get the most out of the tyres; I pushed really hard though I was aware that I did not have any margin for error at all.


Thanks also to a Mercedes C 63 AMG perfectly prepared by the great work of technicians of Team Romeo Ferraris we put together an almost perfect lap.


The pole position is a great starting point for tomorrow's race but I am still prudent: our rivals proved to be very consistent and defending from their attacks is not going to a walk in the park".




Sunday 19 May 2013 programme follows (GMT+1):


12.00: Race 1

16.10: Race 2


The two races will be broadcast live in Italy on Rai Sport 2.
