Alex Albon could have traded Williams F1 car for Vespa in 'painfully slow' Monaco GP
Alex Albon was left frustrated that the Monaco Gran🦹d Prix was dictated by intentional slow driving.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon has joked he could have swapped his Williams F1 c🐼ar for his Vespa in the Monaco Grand Prix because the race was run at suc⛎h a slow pace.
Albon claimed his and Williams’ first points of the season with a strong drive to ninth place behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda. Despite the positive result, he was left frustrated to have spent 78 laps stuck🎉 behind the RB🐻 driver.
The Bri꧙tish-born Thai racer said it was “annoying” how slowly Tsunoda - and much of the field - were dri🅠ving.
🎃"It's annoying because he h📖ad so much pace... I'm happy to manage [the pace] but we don't need to manage this much," Albon said.
”He was managing so much, I was like, I could get out and drive my Vespa around here. It was so slow. It🧸's so painful.
൲"It's actually hard to stay focused when you're go⛄ing that slowly because you're just not even near anything. You're not near any limits.
“He absolutel✱y cleared off at the end of the race. I was like, we could have done this the whole time! But he decided not to do it…."
Albon added: “It was maybe a bit of a boring one. I wish I had a nicer race, a more fun race to say how we scored our first pꦿoints.
“But I’ll take that. P9 is great for us. Puts us on the board, puts us in a positive momentum for the for the next few. Last year it took us a while to get some points and then we really started to hit 🐻our stride. So I don’t [see] why we can’t do that again.
“We’ve obviously chipped away at the car, got some weight out of the car🐼, brought some small upgrades to the car and it’s payinꦛg off.”
Tsunoda, who explained h🅰e was simply respecting the strategy he had been asked to deliver by his team, admitted he did not enjoy limiting his pace.
"I have to always respect the strategy that we planned," Tsunoda said. "I had to sometimes slow down to make sure that the 🍸cars behind don't do any pitstop 🔴or make sure they couldn't undercut us.
"That was frustrating as a driv🥂er, especially when you know there's a lot of pace to come. But we have to stick to what the team says.
“It's not nice feeling, but we discussed it before the race and I am actually happy with what I've dꩲone and not ﷽be too greedy with the tyres."
