Collapint’s self -criticism after Canada’s GP: “It was a bad strategy”

Franco Colapint closed a Canada GP bittersweet. The Argentine pilot went from the great classification of Saturday to stay out of points This Sunday, and after the race he made a self -criticism about what happened in Montreal.

“The race was very difficult. We were in the wrong strategy. You could not pass on the line and complicated us. A pity. TWe raised a good car for today in clean air and in dirty air was very complicated, the rubber was very spent. It wasn’t the Sunday we expected. Pretty bad luck for how the race was giving. Now you have to focus on what is coming and get all the good of this weekend, “said ’43’ in dialogue with AM850.

Colapinto deepened about the strategy chosen by the French team: “It was a bad strategy. The other was definitely much faster and I think it was what made me look out of the points“

“It was not the so -early call but the traffic after. Of the teammates of the teams of others who stayed outside waiting for us to stop. That tactical play killed us. Those who were ahead, Sainz, Ocon, Tsunoda and those who had not stopped or stopped later came forward of us after the stop. It was almost a mini mono. We have to look forward. We had a bad rhythm. It is that the engine in the lines is crazy, we cannot pass anyone.

And former Williams closed on that subject: “It was a strategy that was not bad on paper, but as the race was given it was a disaster. A pity for today. Very difficult to pass, we penalty for right. Very little energy. It was a good opportunity, but you have to focus on the next one. “

Colapinto focused on the next races of the season, in which Alpine is last in the Construction Championship: “The next circuits must be seen how they fall to us, because They depend a lot on the engine and we saw how vulnerable what we were in the lines were. To focus on what is coming. This weekend gave a step in general. To keep that and look forward. “

“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, when we do not have that grip that I need and that does not go back, “concluded the Argentine, who will compete again in two weeks in Austria.
