A critical 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri has dismissed168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll’s explanation for causing a chaotic incident at a Safety Car restart in the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.
Stroll rammed into the back of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo’s RB as the fiel𒀰d bunched up at the hairpin in preparation for the race restart in Shanghai. The contact sent Ricciardo’s🎶 car airborne and ultimately forced him into retirement.
Stroll refused to take responsibility for the crash and blamed the “concertina effeꦅct”, but Piastri feels that was no excuse.
"Everyone else didn’t crash in🍌to each other,” he said, adding: “I think in that kind of corner you always kind of need to expect that.”
Piastri was also hit by Ricciardo’s out-of-control car and picked up damage to his diffuser, though he was able to continue, holding off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes to take eighth.
“I looked at the car afterwards🥃, at my diffuser, I’m pretty sure that’s not how the engineers designed it,” Piastri said.
“So, yeah it🐼’s unsurprising that I lost so much pace from that point, which is a shame bec✤ause I think some good points were on offer.”
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella revealed the damage cost Piastri around four-t🔯enths of 🐲a second.
“Oscar has damage on the diffuser. He lost a significant amount of rear downforce - equivalent I would say [to] four-tenths of a second, something liꦇ♑ke that,” he explained.
“When we heard the numbers, I wasn’t very optimistic that🅺 we could have held positions like Oscar has been able to do.
“So while his ๊result obviously is less noticeable than Lando’s, I think he did a good job in trying to understand how to drive the car when he lost so much rear downforce.
“The car was very oversteery, obviously becaus🐟e you lose downforce on the rear axle, but he managed to make some adaptations and keep Hamilton behind, so that’s also a strong result.”
