Tsunoda put together a stellar weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit as AlphaTauri 𓆉looked to topple Williams in the construc♉tors’ championship.

The Japanese driver qualified sixth and too🅘k the race lead at one point as AlphaTauri gambled on a one-stop strategy.

It didn’t ultimately work out as he lost to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso late on, before coming under threat from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton on the final lap.

Tsunoda needed sixth for AlphaTauri to overtake Williams - and Tost - who bows out of the team at the end of the year as team principal - wasn’t impressed wi🌱th the strategy deployed.

“I’m pissed because we were too stupid to choo💮se a correct strategy and because I had a lot of discuss🔜ions on the pit wall because I said, bring Yuki in, we’re closed slowly,” he told Sky Deutschland. 

“I was told thaꩲt it would work out. It’s pure aritಞhmetic. I actually realised straight away that it probably wouldn’t work out.

“I’ll say now: A seventh ♉place was 100 percent realistic for Yuki. Si🌌xth, not so much, because Perez was behind us in qualifying and was simply faster [in the race]. So you had to take that into account that he was ahead.

“We messed it up because the technicians who sit in front of the computer for ꧋hours couldn’t figure out a str🤪ategy that would ultimately work.”
