In spite of the good performance carried out during the three sessions of free practice, the Draco' driver Nicky Pastorelli'll start tomorrow in third row. Infact this afternoon, when he was making his best lap with the new set of tyres in qualifying, the DutchMan has been hindered voluntarily from an opponent . The Draco' management remarked immediately this regrettable circumstance, but none action has been decided in this respect.

His team-mate Fausto Ippoliti carried out the twelfth fast lap, so the Roman driver'll start tomorrow in sixth row.

Nadia Morini, Financial Director, commented : "I won't conceal the fact that there is some bitterness..When he was carring out the fast lap with the new tyres, he has been hindered. It was a umpleasant fact that we reported at once to the race directors, but nothing else happened. Now we have to think the race, Pastorelli is second of the championship, he fights for the title, in these races starting in front row is an important lead, but, considering the results of free practice,

I think he'll be a hard nut to crack for the opponents. I have to say the same thing about Ippoliti, who yesterday snatched up excellent results , and I hope he'll show his challenging comeback."
