The Alfa Romeo drivers performed unsuccessfully in qualifying and took the last two lines of the protocol…
Valtteri Bottas (18th): “The results were disappointing, until the last moment it looked like we would be able to compete with our rivals, but in the end the speed was not enough. We will find out the reasons at night, but it will not be easy in the race.
We start from the back rows, it is important to have a good start and hope that the safety car comes out. The last race of the season is just around the corner, we want to end the year with dignity and we will give everything until the last corner of the last lap.”
Guanyu Zhou (19th): “Before qualifying it looked like we had a good chance, so now we have to understand why we dropped back. Today was different, we couldn’t get the tires working.
I made a mistake in turn six, locked both axles and couldn’t recover afterwards, but even without that mistake we wouldn’t have had enough speed to qualify for the second part of qualifying.
The conditions will be about the same on Sunday, we have to find an approach for that and have a good last race of the season.”
