2021 FIA Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix – Qualifying – Saturday
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN produced the best collective qualifying result of the season so far in a sizzling Saturday session at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Kimi Räikkönen set the 13th fastest time, with team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi in 14th – both Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN cars qualifying to Q2 at the Hungaroring.
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN produced the best collective qualifying result of the season so far in a sizzling Saturday session at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Kimi Räikkönen set the 13th fastest time, with team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi in 14th – both Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN cars qualifying to Q2 at the Hungaroring.
Under a scorching sun and cheered on by the many supporters of the team on the grandstands, the team delivered a big improvement to the performance of the two C41 cars from morning to afternoon, with Kimi and Antonio able to progress to the second segment of qualifying by clearing their most immediate rivals by more than a tenth of a second.
In a Q2 interrupted by a red flag due to the incident to Carlos Sainz, Kimi and Antonio made the most of their remaining set of fresh tyres to book the seventh row on the grid – a good position to start the race on a track that doesn’t promote overtaking.
The team will now focus on choosing the most effective strategies to maximise the result of tomorrow’s race, with tyre degradation one of the key topics in the heat of Budapest.
Delivering a good result would also be the best reward for the hundreds of fans who visited the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Team Booth in the Silver Fan Zone. So many supporters came to admire one of the team’s cars and shop exclusive merchandise in this dedicated facility, with exhibits and activities geared for true Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN fans. Some lucky punters also got the chance to meet one of their idols, reserve driver Robert Kubica, in a dedicated virtual meeting, and to win signed items – making their Hungarian Grand Prix experience even more memorable.
With just the Sunday race now left, the best way to send these amazing supporters off into a happy summer break would be to finish in the top ten. We’re working on it.
Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN: “It was a really strong performance as a team – actually, our best collective result so far this season. We were able to make a significant improvement from practice, where we had struggled, and both drivers felt a lot more at ease with the car straight from the first run of qualifying. In a field with such small margins, to clear Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri in P16 by more than a tenth and leave Russell’s Williams nearly 0.2s behind us is a very positive result. Both Kimi and Antonio delivered good laps in Q2, where we only had one good set of tyres left, and achieved positions that will allow us to be in the fight for the points right from the start tomorrow. Now we have to build on this strong Saturday to bring home a good result.”
Kimi Räikkönen (car number 7):
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN C41 (Chassis 04/Ferrari)
FP3: 15th / 1:18.683 (21 laps)
Q1: 1:17.553 (9 laps)
Q2: 13th / 1:17.564 (6 laps)
“The team worked really hard to improve the balance of the car ahead of qualifying and that was enough to make a step forward. It’s still not where we want to be, but we did our best and P13 is a good position to start the race. We’ll see what is possible to achieve tomorrow: the race is never easy here but we will do all we can to bring home a good result.”
Antonio Giovinazzi (car number 99):
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN C41 (Chassis 05/Ferrari)
FP3: 18th / 1:19.113 (14 laps)
Q1: 1:17.776 (9 laps)
Q2: 14th / 1:17.583 (3 laps)
“It was definitely the best session of the weekend so far for us, after struggling yesterday and this morning in FP3. The team did a great job and we made a big step forward from this morning: we put two cars in Q2 and we need to be happy with this result. P13 and P14 was probably the maximum we could, especially on a hot and windy day that made conditions quite tricky out there. Starting where we are, everything can happen in the race: the track is not an easy one on which to overtake but a good start and the strategy can put us in a good position. We expect tyre degradation to play a big role in the race, especially with this heat, so to make the right calls there will be key to have a good result.”

2021 FIA Formula One British Grand Prix - Race - Sunday
The first Sprint Grand Prix weekend in the history of Formula One went into the archives with a race that delivered thrills from lights to flag and in which Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN gave a good account of themselves, even though the ultimate reward of points remained just about elusive. Antonio Giovinazzi crossed the line in 13th and Kimi Räikkönen, who had run in the top ten for the whole first stint, was in P15 after a late contact dropped him down the order.

2021 FIA Formula One Austrian Grand Prix – Race – Sunday
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN went really close to a points finish once again, only for the Austrian Grand Prix to end in frustration for the team. Kimi Räikkönen, who had been in a fight for P10 until the final lap of the race, crossed the line in 16th after a collision, while team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi was 14th after a penalty set him back in the opening stages of the afternoon.

2021 FIA Formula One Austrian Grand Prix – Qualifying – Saturday
Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN extended its run of Q2 appearances as Antonio Giovinazzi qualified in P15 for the Austrian Grand Prix, with team-mate Kimi Räikkönen a position behind him in 16th. It’s a result that belies the strong pace shown in the practice sessions earlier this weekend, but one that will allow the team to fight for points in tomorrow’s race.
