Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou did not earn any points in the final round in Austin. Alfa Romeo drivers are looking forward to a more productive race weekend in Mexico City.
Valtteri Bottas: “The stage in Austin turned out to be difficult. It was especially unpleasant after the finish, when, thanks to a revision of the results, our rivals earned points and rose slightly in the constructors’ championship. But hope is not lost: despite the lack of speed, the car drives well, and we liked the Mexico City circuit last year.
Four more stages follow, including one with a sprint, in which many points are awarded. The gaps are minimal and just a few thousandths of a second can guarantee access to the qualifying final. If we do everything right, we will improve our starting positions and increase our chances of points on Sunday.”
Guanyu Zhou: “There’s no doubt that the weekend in Austin was disappointing. We hoped to maximize the potential of the updates, but we couldn’t. The team has been working hard in recent days to understand what went wrong and what needs to be done to perform better next weekend. I believe we have the potential to come back soon.
Last year I had a blast in Mexico City; the passionate fans know how to party. Looking forward to returning this weekend. The stage will be held in a standard format with three training sessions, which will allow you to get to know the route and prepare for the decisive sessions. I am confident that if we prepare well, we can get back into the points.”
