The Engine Block mold's where made from Wood and chiseled to the exact shape for the Aluminum to form. Those where the good old days.
 
And poor Valsecchi disappointed. That close up of his face during Q2 said it all.
 
Plus he will most likely mess up his start anyway so no need to be in the way of everybody on pole position.
