F1 | AlphaTauri, Pierre Gasly: “We need to understand why we are so slow”
The Frenchman gets two penalties in the race: "At this point I think I'm responsible for Sebastian's spin"
Pierre Gasly takes a penalty on Spielberg. First five seconds for not respecting the track limits, then the contact that causes Sebastian Vettel to spin gets him another five second penalty. Gasly's race was already uphill, with the fourteenth position achieved in the Sprint Race, and the penalties certainly did not help the Frenchman, who ultimately crossed the finish line in fifteenth position. Weekend to forget for him and AlphaTauri, both in need more than ever to return to the glories of the past and shake off the bad luck.
"I think it's time to put this weekend behind us, because we didn't have the right pace. I haven't reviewed the images yet, but I received a penalty and therefore I believe I was responsible for the accident with Sebastian – declared the Frenchman – I tried to fight as much as possible and it's always difficult in that corner, unfortunately he ended up spinning. We need a reset: we have a week and a half to understand why we were slow and how we can improve for the next races. We hope that the new package will allow us to progress and return to being competitive in the midfield".
