F1 | AlphaTauri, Yuki Tsunoda: “A spin compromised my race”

Yuki Tsunoda throws away the possibility of scoring points in Türkiye. The Japanese, ninth at the start, was the protagonist of a good duel with the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton: the rookie defended himself well through the still wet corners of Istanbul Park, but in doing so he significantly damaged his intermediate tires . This is the reason for the spin, due to which he loses several positions. In the end Yuki is only fourteenth.

"Too bad for today, I think I could have crossed the finish line in the Top 10. I used the tires too much at the beginning, in that duel with Hamilton, and after that it was really difficult to maintain the pace – explained the rookie – unfortunately, then, I had a spin that ruined my entire race. Today, however, I learned a lot, completing many laps with the intermediate tyres, even if I'm disappointed because I was hoping to be able to get some points to help the team in the championship.".
