Yuki Tsunoda of Scuderia AlphaTauri talked about his enthusiasm for the 2022 F1 Round 10 British Grand Prix.
In the previous race in Canada, Yuki Tsunoda started the race from the end due to an engine replacement penalty and aimed to enter the top 10, but suffered a solo crash in the middle of the race and retired.
Yuki Tsunoda, who said he was happy with the pace and performance, said that although Silverstone is a good circuit, it will be a difficult race given the current packaging.
“Looking back at the last round, I enjoyed my first visit to Canada. I love what I saw in the cities of Canada and Montreal,” said Yuki Tsunoda.
“But it was another very difficult weekend on the track. The pace was there and I was very happy with the performance. I felt better than the last Grand Prix in Azerbaijan. Of course, I had to take an engine penalty, so I knew it would be a difficult race to make up for. Unfortunately, I was doing well until the end of the barrier, so I was very disappointed, but I can’t help it. It’s a thing, and it has to be seen as another learning experience, and I know a Montreal truck that I’ve never driven now. “
“I was very busy last week. At first I focused on physical training in Faenza. It’s very important in a very busy schedule. Then I headed to San Marino on Sunday to compete in the Red Bull Gravity Racer. I’ve never done that before. It was a lot of fun and it was really fun to be able to judge all the different entries. The team was a soapbox like my helmet. It was a design! “
“After handing out the winning trophies, I headed to the UK for the simulator, where I focused on Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring. I’m familiar with Silverstone since I raced for the first time in F3 in 2019. Earned points. The following year, there were four races in two weeks in F2, finishing third in the first feature race and winning the second sprint race. Last year, he scored points in tenth. But I remember it was crowded with so many people. I feel like it’s a good track. “
“I’m looking forward to driving this old-fashioned truck at this high speed with these new cars. In terms of speed, the new cars are a bit slower than last year, but they’re producing the same lap times as we’ve seen in the past.”
“Based on what we saw in Azerbaijan, this year’s Silverstone may be a bit easier to overtake than in the past. As always, we aim to reach Q3 and score points on Saturday. I think it will be a difficult race with the current package, but I think it would be helpful if I could have a smooth time with free practice. “
