AlphaTauri leaves Barcelona with the only point earned for tenth place by Yuki Tsunoda…
french toast, Team Principal: “First of all I would like to congratulate Red Bull Racing on a fantastic double win that helped Max in a tense battle for the title.
The weekend turned out to be difficult for us, we couldn’t find the right settings to eliminate the overheating of the rear tires, which meant that we didn’t perform well in qualifying.
Fortunately, both riders had a good start and were able to bounce back on the first lap. At the start of the race the pace on the Soft was acceptable, after a few laps we decided to use a three-stop strategy but after the switch to Medium Yuki failed to warm up the tires quickly so lost he a few seconds to Alonso.
Pierre suffered from instability in the rear of the car and was unable to compete for points. From the first laps, his front wing was damaged, which negatively affected the car’s handling.
We have to analyze everything to get the car back to the level we had in the past, try to understand why it loses efficiency in hot conditions, because we will have races with similar weather, for example in Budapest.
Now we go to Monaco, where we usually perform well. I hope it will be the same this year.”
Yuki Tsunoda (10th): “The race turned out to be difficult. It was very hot in the cockpit, I was fighting at the bottom of the price ten – the pressure was very high.
But I’m quite happy with my performance and the result. Over the weekend we weren’t happy with the car’s performance, but we made progress and fought for the points in the race. However, we still have a lot of work to do to climb higher in the middle group.”
Pierre Gasly (13th): “I’m very upset today. At the very beginning there was a bit of contact, the car suffered, downforce and speed dropped – it slid in all the corners.
I take the blame for the incident with Stroll, at that point I attacked with all my might, my apologies to Lance. After that, I did everything I could to earn back, but there was little I could change.
