Mick Schumacher was the strongest Alpine Endurance driver pace-wise in the 6 Hours of Imola, teammate Nico Lapierre told MotorsportWeek.com.
“In Imola, Schumacher impressed with his strong race performance, showcasing the strongest pace among the six Alpine drivers,” commented the veteran French sportscar driver. Data analysis of lap times at the 6 Hours of Imola supports this assessment, with Schumacher posting an average lap time six tenths quicker than his closest Alpine competitor, demonstrating his rapid adaptation to sportscar racing. Despite challenging conditions and tricky track traffic, Schumacher navigated flawlessly, especially while managing slick tires under light rain, a tough feat. His exceptional performance in only his second sportscar race earned praise from his teammates. The Alpines faced difficulties at Imola due to the track not suiting the car’s setup, resulting in suboptimal performance, but the team remains optimistic for upcoming races, particularly looking forward to competing at Spa.”
