During the San Marino Grand Prix, the hostilities of which will begin this Friday, the LCR Honda driver Castrol, Cal Crutchlow, will feature the brand’s famous red, white and green colors. The legendary lubricant manufacturer, whose partnership with LCR began in 2015, will sponsor the team and Cal throughout the weekend. After his sixth position at Silverstone, the Coventry driver will certainly attempt a blow, to once again find himself at the forefront. 

After recently carrying out a private test with his LCR team, with which he said he was not satisfied, Cal Crutchlow arrives in Misano with his usual positive attitude and determination. Very optimistic about a good result, he believes that Misano could be “ a big weekend for the team. »

« The test we performed didn't go very well. In the end I don't know why but I had a bad feeling. I stopped early on the first day because sometimes it's better to start from scratch and start all over again. We didn't have a lot to test, but I wasn't fast on the second day either. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be faster than we were." explains the 33-year-old pilot.

“I always approach race weekends very optimistically, but circumstances can change quickly. I 100% intend to have a great weekend here in Misano and get a good result. I've done it here before, so I'll try to do it again. I would also like to thank Castrol for their sponsorship this weekend and I look forward to racing in their colors » concludes the teammate of Takaaki Nakagami with whom the Briton is at odds..

Cal Crutchlow is currently ninth in the World Drivers' Championship standings with 88 points. It also occupies third position behind Jack Miller et Fabio Quartararo in the ranking of independent drivers.
