Câmara started the round’s activities with the fifth fastest time in the weekend’s only free practice session. In qualifying, the Ferrari Driver Academy member led the initial part of qualifying and was one of the last to go out on track for his final attempt at a fast lap. At this moment, the Brazilian set the second fastest time, securing a front-row start for Sunday.
“Overall we had a good qualifying. On the first outing on track I was already strong. After Kush (Maini) set a good time, I knew I needed to do a good lap. And it was quite decent, but not enough. I am also focused on both races,” said Rafael Câmara, right after qualifying in Hungary.
