Franz Tost bows out of F1 with “too stupid” dig at the AlphaTauri strategists
Tsunoda put together a stellar weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit as AlphaTauri looked to topple Williams in the c𓆏onstructors’ championship.
The Japanese driver qualified sixth and took the race le𓂃adℱ at one point as AlphaTauri gambled on a one-stop strategy.
It didn’t ultimately work out as he lost to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso late on, before coming under threat from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton on the final lap.
Tsunoda needed sixth for AlphaTauri to 🦋overtake Willia🅠ms - and Tost - who bows out of the team at the end of the year as team principal - wasn’t impressed with the strategy deployed.
“I’m pissed because we were too stupid to choose a correct strategy and 🦋because I had a lot of discussions on th꧂e pit wall because I said, bring Yuki in, we’re closed slowly,” he told Sky Deutschland.
“I was told that it would work out. It’s pure arithmetic. I actually r𝐆ealised straight away that it probably wouldn’t work out.
“I’ll say now: A seventh place was 100 percent realistic for Yuki. Sixth, not so much, because Perez was behind us in q🐲ualifying and was simply faster [in the race]. So you had to take that into account that he was ahead.
“We messed it up because the technicians who sit in front of the computer♔ for hours couldn’t figure out a strategy that would ultimately work.”
