Fans (starting to ask the driver’s question) and pundits are still wondering why Zhou (5th on the grid) and Bottas (7th) lost 16 positions in the first corner. Who’s to blame? Team representative Bravi’s statement: “We had a problem with the braking system’s strategy during the starting procedure.”
Debt to team or driver?
This hardly makes anyone smarter. Zhou: «Everything was ready for me. Then something went wrong and I had to start over!” Did the Chinese plummet the revs – or was it just a malfunction? At Alfa-Sauber you prefer not to make excuses all the time, but just (as with many other teams) talk plainly.
Zhou forced Bottas to abort the start and then crashed into Ricciardo, causing the Alpine double crash. It couldn’t be worse.
Bottas left immediately in 2022
A year ago we started in Spa as 13th (Zhou) and 20th (Bottas). The Finn didn’t have to suffer long, colliding with Latifi and having to retire on the first lap.
Like Hamilton after a collision with Alonso. Zhou placed 14th.
Wonder with 22 points
The last Alfa-Sauber miracle took place on November 17, 2019 in Sao Paulo. Räikkönen and Giovinazzi took advantage of the insane safety car race to take fourth and fifth place – or a total of 22 championship points.
As a reminder of the starting positions at that time, the Finn started the journey from 9th place, the Italian from 13th place.
