Frustrating day for Antonio Giovinazzi at the Austrian GP
The Italian had a tough day at the Austrian GP as he could only finish P14. Giovinazzi had to make an early pit stop after a collision with Esteban Ocon on the first lap. In addition, the commissioners punished the Alfa Romeo driver for overtaking Fernando Alonso as part of the safety car.
“A frustrating day: like last week, our race was compromised on the first lap. I was in contact with Esteban and had to pit: We had good pace after that, but everyone was pretty close and it was very difficult to recover much, ”said Antonio Giovinazzi from Alfa Romeo.
