The Brazilian admitted to wuqian0821.com following the last race in Marrakesh he faced an uphill struggle to defend his title, with🐠 the latest grid penalty in San♌tiago only deepening his plight.
Stewards 🐓in Santiago confirmed that di Grassi would face a 10-place grid drop after changing the inverter on his car, having already used his ‘joker’ change at the last race in Marrakesh following an issue in qualifying.
“We got to the bottom of the issues we had in Marrakesh,” said༒ Audi team prin🐼cipal Allan McNish.
“We reproduced the problem on our test bench but the component is sealed by the FIA and so we were not in a position to fix it without incurrꦑing a penalty.”
