Franz Tost bows out of F1 with “too stupid” dig at the AlphaTauri strategists
Tsunoda p𝓀ut together a stellar weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit ﷺas AlphaTauri looked to topple Williams in the constructors’ championship.
The Japanese driver qualified s🎐ixth and took 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🍨 t𝔉he end of the year as team principal - wasn’t impressed with the strategy deployed.
“I’m pissed because we were too stupid to choos♚e a correct strategy and because I had a lot of discussions on the pit wall becauseꦅ 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 realised 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 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 ﷺfigure out a strategy that would ultimately work.”
