2021 FIA Formula One Italian Grand Prix - Race - Sunday

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Alfa Romeo #racing ORLEN saw the promise of a great result slip from its grasp in a tough #italiangrandprix, with #antoniogiovinazzi and #robertkubica finishing in 13th and 14th. The promising pace shown in qualifying and in the sprint was nullified by a first lap collision that put Antonio at the back of the pack; he could only make limited inroads in the field before the chequered flag. Robert had a positive race, making up places at the start and performing well in some close combat in the second half of the race.

It is a disappointing result, even more so because of the many positives shown throughout the weekend. The good pace that accompanied the cars in practice, the qualifying session and the sprint was still there, but the circumstances meant we could not bring home the points we would have deserved.

We leave this triple header bruised, but keen to get back on track and turn the positives into results when we return to #racing in Russia.

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo #racing ORLEN: “We showed really good pace this weekend, so it’s disappointing to leave the track empty-handed after a race heavily compromised on the opening lap. The performance in qualifying and in the sprint had put us in a great position, with the pace to fight the cars around us. Unfortunately, a collision on lap one compromised Antonio’s race and even a Safety Car could not put us back into the points. Robert had a good race, making up some ground at the start and in the first lap, which went a long way to recover after the problems in qualifying. He battled well and played the team game in the end. All in all, it’s an opportunity lost for the team as our pace was good and the weekend had looked great, consistently in the top ten, until Sunday, where we were caught in the circumstances and had to settle for a finish outside the points.”
