Franz Tost bows out of F1 with “too stupid” dig at the AlphaTauri strategists

Tsunoda put toge𓆉ther a stellar weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit as AlphaTauri looked to topple Williams in the constructors’ champio✅nship.
The Japanese driver quꩵalified sixth and too⭕k the race lead at one point as AlphaTauri gambled on a one-stop strategy.
It didn’t ultimately work out as he lost to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso late on, before coming under threat from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton on the final lap.
Tsunoda needed sixth for AlphaTauri to overtake Williams - 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 the pit wall because I said, bring Yuki in,ไ we’re closed slowly,” he told Sky Deutschland.
“I was told that it wou✤ld work out. It’s pure arithmetic. I actually realised straight away that it pr🅘obably wouldn’t work out.

“I’ll say now: A seventh place was 100 percen꧙t realistic for Yuki. Sixth, not so much, because Perez was behind us in qualifying 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.”
