In Sao Paulo, both Alfa Romeo drivers dropped out of the race in the first part of qualifying…
Valtteri Bottas (18th): “It’s a shame we couldn’t go further – there was a feeling that the car would allow us to fight with our rivals. But the intervals turned out to be so small that even a small delay seriously affected the position, which we were convinced of again today.
Starting from the penultimate starting row on Sunday is not the best option. We have something to work on on Saturday, but we know how unpredictable racing can be in Sao Paulo. With a good start and an aggressive strategy we still have a chance to move forward.”
Guanyu Zhou (20th): “Unfortunately, more problems occurred than usual. Now it is important to deal with it at night to get more out of the car in the sprint on Saturday, and especially in the race on Sunday.
We did everything we could, but the car wasn’t fast enough to go any further. Starting from the back on Sunday is always difficult. I hope we draw the right conclusions and can fight.”
