F1 | Alfa Romeo, Giovinazzi will start from the eighth row in Abu Dhabi

Terrible qualifying for Antonio Giovinazzi and Alfa Romeo Racing. The Apulian qualified in seventeenth position (he will start sixteenth due to Bottas' penalty) ahead of his teammate. The difficulties of the Italian/Swiss team were already seen during free practice, and today they were confirmed. The driver from Martina Franca hopes to be able to straighten things out this weekend starting from the start, also focusing on strategy.

“The car wasn't that bad today, but something was missing – Giovinazzi said. It's a shame, because our race pace wasn't bad yesterday, so a good starting position would definitely have helped us. Tomorrow, however, will be a challenge: we need a good start and the right strategic calls, so as to recover positions and fight with the others."
