Franz Tost, Scuderia AlphaTauri’s team representative, looks back on the 2022 F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix final.
At the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, a problem occurred with Yuki Tsunoda’s machine during the Recono Sun Slap before the race. He ended the weekend without reaching the final grid.
“It was a very difficult race this time. It’s a shame that some cars couldn’t reach the starting grid. We had to stop Yuuki’s car because of hydraulic problems. We have to investigate the cause, “says Franz Tost.
On the other hand, Pierre Guthrie, who started from the 9th grid, suffered a big drop in the ranking due to the unfortunate fact that the safety car entered immediately after the pit stop, but he recovered from there and finished the race in 8th place.
“As for Pierre, although he started on P9, he couldn’t increase his pace in the first stint and allowed the McLarens to overtake,” said Franz Tost.
“Also, it was unlucky that he lost his position due to the yellow flag caused by Latifi’s crash shortly after he entered the pits to change to hard tires, but Pierre managed to recover. He finished with P8 brilliantly. I was able to do my best today. “
“We haven’t reached the level we expected for the pace of the car, so we need to review it. We are looking forward to the next race in Australia, which will be held for the first time in three years.”
Franz Tost also congratulated Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen for winning the race and thanked the organizers of the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
“I truly congratulate Oracle Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen on their fantastic victory. The battle with Leclerc was very good and I enjoyed watching it. I also congratulate the organizers of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Fans are enjoying the race in a very nice atmosphere and look forward to coming back here. “
