After receiving the latest-spec floor on your red bull RB21, Yuki Sunoda Was happy to achieve the seventh qualification in Belgium – since his first appearance in Q3 Miami GP Weekend over two months ago.
He held that position at the beginning of the race, but then, apparently unnecessarily, was beaten for a slick tire in a lap later than team-mate. Max VerustapaneWhich stopped at the end of Lap 12. This was the cost of the position of the Tsunoda track and, significantly, left it behind Alpine Of Pierre GalliThose who had gained 13th qualifications, but were among the first contestants to stop – coming with French in the end of Lap 11.
Seonoda was then running in the 11th in the DRS train behind Galli and was unable to pass Alpine due to Galli’s Lower-Downforce configuration. Spending 30 laps trying to pass was removed from Sunoda’s tires and they dropped two places into one charging Oliver bearman And Nico Hulkenburg In the final interval.
“It was our fault,” the principal of the new team said in his post-race press conference. “We wanted to beat him in the same lap as Max (Vastapane), and everything was ready, the crew was out, everything was ready to get both cars, and we just called him very late.
“So it’s on us, unfortunately. And a lap created a big difference today – so he lost, I think, on three or four positions, which finally stopped his fight for the points.”
Helmut Marco, the advisor to the Red Bull Driver, was somewhat chilli, telling reporters that “a misunderstanding” with the team and the goldsmith’s “speed was also not good”.

Macis also spoke about some strange time of floor upgradation, which Red Bull fit on Saturday between Sprint race and qualifying. Tsaroda claimed that not only did it improve the overall grip levels, it was more confident-inspired than the previous imagination because it was less sensitive and less prone to slipping uncontrolled.
“For the floor, as much as we got a lot of publicity for it, it is nothing unusual or anything different,” Macis said. “You are very difficult, very hard to get the latest specifications.
“So as soon as it was available, we had to face the choice of either waiting for the next weekend or using that slightly unusual window between sprint and the main Quali, which comes with some risk. It comes with some risk as it was extremely tight to be able to fit parts of the car.
“So, the crew did a wonderful job, and as you have seen, we were really going out for qualifying. And then you usually pay a price because drivers need to adapt, and it is not great to go to Qauli with a new-kalpana car.
“But anyway, we realized that it was worth the risk and effort, and Yuki did a wonderful job with it, which did it to adapt through merit and of course took a big step of performance and a very strong ability.”
