Boya eager to maximise opportunities after strong Qualifying at Silverstone

4 July 2025

Mari Boya says he and Campos Racing are positioned for a great weekend at Silverstone after Qualifying fourth on Friday.

The Spaniard recorded his best Qualifying result since Monte Carlo and will line up inside the top five for the second time in 2025.

Crucially, he says the team made changes to the car which paid off with a strong starting position for both races, and have also given him more confidence going into the remainder of the weekend.

“I’m quite happy. Maybe the only thing is that we ended FP with another compromise on the car we wanted to try, so I started off in Qualifying a bit slowly,” he explained after the session. “But I got the confidence back, and on the last set, and that is when it matters.

“We have a strong position for Sunday, and we know how strong we are in the races, so I’m feeling confident heading into the rest of the weekend.”

Boya and Campos have made a habit of fighting their way forward in the races after difficult Qualifying sessions left them with a recovery job for both the Sprint and the Feature

This weekend however, Boya has just three cars ahead of him in the order, and is expecting to fight for the big prizes with how confident he is feeling in the car currently.

Still, the Aston Martin Development Driver is focused on the details that are set to make the difference in Silverstone, saying he and the team will be aiming to make the most of their strong starting positions.

“I think we’ve had some really nice races already this year. In Barcelona, it was a bit hard because we had just two corners to go on the lap, and then we had an issue and that result was compromised.

“But, we have gotten into a really good rhythm so I’m super happy. So let’s see if we can carry this form going forward, because I’m feeling more and more confident every time.

“I will focus now to understand the car as much as I can and what the limiting factors will be to get the best result on Sunday. We have a really good opportunity to score big points.”

The Campos driver says big results are on the cards with the team's strong race pace so far in 2025

His attentions are already refocusing on what’s to come, with a potentially weather-affected Sprint Race on Saturday on the cars.

Of course, the British summer wouldn’t be complete without a rain shower, and Saturday could feature some unpredictability if forecasts hold.

Boya is confident that whatever comes, he and his team are well placed to adapt, and he’s eager to make the most of the Sprint to prepare thoroughly for Sunday’s Feature Race.

“The most important thing now is to learn tomorrow how to deal with the track and how this Hard compound will react around Silverstone, because we don’t really know.

“We will take the maximum information we can for Sunday. I’m confident about the rest of the weekend, and I’m excited to see how it goes.

“We will try to maximise all that we can. I saw that rain could be possible but today it’s looking like it might stay dry. So we’ll see. Whatever happens, we’ll do our best.”
