Silverstone: Thomas Biagi race report

Thomas fourth in the rank, if only the safety car.

SILVERSTONE (GBR) - It would have been a well-deserved podium, but the safety car has spoiled the new adventure start of Thomas Biagi in FIA GT Championship; it went down in the racetrack to reshuffle and to make people stare at it and not for a concrete need: in fact the wheel lost by a GT1 car had already been cleared away by the stewards/officials.... Ferrari F430 driven by Thomas arrived fourth on the fabulous Silverstone racetrack checquered flag.

"Anyway, I'm satisfied with this fourth place - the Itlain pilot said at the end of the race - if only the safety car didn't drive in and damaged the strategy (perfect since then) I think I would be here talking about a seond or a third place. No problem: there is a very good understanding with my new team mate and we are now learning secerets and virtues in this strong vehicle".

"I'm happy with Michelin intremediate tyres which performed well and with the whole team who worked in an excellent way: the feeling for all the AF Corse staff is growing day by day. I'm optimistic for the future and I can't wait to drive in the car and go down in the race in Monza, within a month. There are high standing car drivers in this category, but we are ready to batthe. I'm confident with the race we will play at home".
