In the last four races, the team Alfa Romeo Racing won only three points. He is last in Sochi Kimi Räikönen dropped out already in the first part of the qualifiers and then higher than 13th place he was no longer able. He was additionally fined for driving through the pits for starting too fast, but he managed to catch the junction after a safety car hit the track, but the Finn was extremely dissatisfied with the speed of his car in the last part of the race.
"I am aware that I made a lot of mistakes last weekend, but the safety car and the virtual safety car gave me a new opportunity, which I could not take advantage of because the car was simply too slow," was disappointed after the race in Sochi 2007 World Champion.
“We have to analyze the last four races in detail and come to conclusions about what went wrong and where we have reserves. Each in itself was a failure and a real nightmare. I think we were the only ones in Spa who were relatively fast, everything else was sadness, " he added Räikönen.
He has a similar opinion Antonio Giovinazzi, who started from the twelfth starting place and already in the first lap found himself in a sandwich between Romain Grosjean in Daniel Ricciard, which cost him three places. “It was definitely the race I wanted. I could see there was little space, so I dropped my foot off the gas, but obviously it wasn’t enough. After the collision, the car no longer behaved normally, so I had a lot of trouble being able to drive on, " said the Italian.
Whatever the problems it is Giovinazzi had because of the collision, even the team boss Alfa Romeo, Frederic Vasseur, admits that with the new package of improvements, they asked themselves more questions than they got a solution for them. The Italian-Swiss alliance is connected with Racing Point fights for seventh place in the design championship. It is not showing them the best for now, but who knows, maybe they will succeed, there are still five races until the end.
