Pizzonia is betting on rain to recover in the race.

LANCEPRESS!

The Brazilian representatives did not manage a good position on the starting grid for the Belgian round of the Formula Superleague. This Saturday, at the Zolder circuit, driver Tuka Rocha qualified the Flamengo car in 13th position. Antônio Pizzonia, who competes for Corinthians, will start in 15th place. Pole position went to Paul Meijer, of Borussia Dortmund, Germany.

The weather forecast for this Sunday indicates that the race will be held in the rain. According to Pizzonia, this factor could help the Brazilians in their fight for the top positions.

- As rain is forecast for tomorrow (Sunday), I believe I will be able to pass, even with any potential visibility issues. In dry conditions, overtaking on this track is very difficult - said the Brazilian.
