F1 | AlphaTauri, Gasly penalized: “I apologize to Lance”
First the contact with Hamilton, then the one with Stroll and a five-second penalty ruin his race
Weekend to forget for Pierre Gasly. Since Friday, the Frenchman hasn't been very satisfied with the AT03, with some problems that even forced him to miss a free practice session. Starting from the fourteenth spot on the grid, Pierre attempted to climb up the ladder, but without success. First, a contact with Hamilton damaged his front wing at the start; then, another with Lance Stroll's Aston Martin, halfway through the race, in turn one, also earned him a five-second penalty, served at the pit stop. A decidedly unlucky weekend for Gasly, who finished the race outside the points in thirteenth position.
"I'm very disappointed, it's very frustrating. There was a small contact at the start which damaged my car and from there I no longer had any pace, we lost grip and slid everywhere. I take responsibility for the incident with Stroll, I was pushing the limit, and I want to apologize to Lance for that – admitted Pierre – we tried everything, but in the end we couldn't do much".
