Franco Colapint He failed to maintain the tenth position he had achieved in Saturday’s classification and ended the race in the 13th place at the Canada Grand Prix. In the last turns, the Argentine began to feel the wear of the tires (he had only one stop at Tour 14) and failed to keep the pace. “I think it was a bad strategy,” Anailzó after the race.
While he lost three positions, he achieved his best result since his arrival in Alpine, matching what he had achieved in Monaco. At a press conference, he regretted: “Very difficult. I think we were in the wrong strategy. You could not pass on the line, that complicated us“He said.” It was a strategy that was not bad on paper, but in the end, as the race was given, it was a disaster, “he added.
In that sense, he explained that the team’s plan was good for “clean air” although during much of the race it had “dirty air”: “very complicated, the tires were very spent.” It was not the weekend or Sunday we expected. We had enough bad luck with how the race was giving, if we had not been at the points. You have to focus on what is coming to get all the good of this weekend, ”he added after having excited himself by adding points with Alpine for the first time.
“With the car I was fine, I think it was a bad strategy. Definitely, the other strategy was much faster. I think it was what made me be out of the points. I did not call it so early, but by Traffic after the teammates of others, who stayed outside waiting for us to stop. That tactical play killed us. Those who were ahead … Sainz, Ocon, Tsunoda, all who did not stop and did it too late, our stop after the stop“, considered.
The Argentine emphasized the difficulties to specify overpraft and launched: “Crazy. It is almost a mini monaco. A shame. I think we have to look forward, it was not a race in which we had a bad pace. The engine in the straight lines is crazy. We cannot go to anyone. Complicated, but you have to look forward and I think you come better weekends. ”
Franco Colapinto, with his sights in the next races: “You have to focus onwards”
In the face of the next races (Austria and Silverstone), Colapinto anticipated: “We must see how they fall to us, because they are circuits that depend a lot on the engine. And this, here, we saw how vulnerable it is in the lines. There is focusing from now on, on what comes. This weekend gave a step in general, so you have to keep that and look forward, ”he said. The Argentine classified tenth, his best starting position since his arrival in Alpine, and ended above his partner Pierre Gasley, who finished two positions behind.
On this point, he celebrated: “It is something positive. It means that We are finding the course and the way. To understand a little what happens when We do not find the balance of the car, when I have no confidence or that grip that I need so that it does not go back. ”
