Scuderia AlphaTauri’s Pierre Guthrie accused the team’s 2022 F1 car, the AT03, of being the “slowest” car on the grid.
Pierre Guthrie wants to move to a more competitive team, but Red Bull has Guthrie’s contract options until 2023 and has decided to stay with Scuderia Alpha Tauri next season.
“He definitely belongs to the group of the best and most competitive drivers in F1 and has proved his abilities during all the time he has spent with us,” said Scuderia AlphaTauri’s F1. Team representative Franz Tost said.
But Pierre Guthrie implies that his talent is not in line with the competitiveness of his current car. AlphaTauri says “it shouldn’t be this way” and that a “reset” is needed.
“I’m trying to do everything I can in the car, but I don’t have anything to do at this point, so I think it’s absolutely necessary to upgrade the car to get decent results,” said Pierre Guthrie.
“After all, we don’t have the pace. We’re at the current speed, we can’t carry out the strategy we want.”
“Probably we have the slowest car right now. It’s really disappointing to see us fighting for the lowest position. We haven’t had any new parts in the car for a long time. And It’s starting to show up and I’m hoping for an update in France. “
Pierre Guthrie’s current teammate Yuki Tsunoda hasn’t confirmed the 2023 seat yet, but prior to Austria, Helmut Marko began working with Japanese “problem children” to psychologists. It revealed that.
“I don’t know if it’s working because he needs a little more time to understand me,” said Yuki Tsunoda.
But I think one of the limitations of that first year was that my brain was overheated, especially in the car. “
“But I know we need to improve those parts to be more consistent, so I hope the training works well and works well for the future.”
