Yuki Tsunoda felt Lewis Hamilton was within reach in Brazil, until car issues halted his charge late on.
Yuki Tsunoda believes passing Lewis Hamilton would have been within reach in Brazil, had he not experienced car issues late on.
Hamilton came home eighth ahead of Tsunoda, but the AlphaTauri driver felt that he was hamstrung himself late on and could have joined the likes of Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz in passing the Mercedes driver during the race.Tsunoda still spoke in a somewhat disappointed tone despite making up seven places during the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on Sunday, putting a handful of crucial points on the board for AlphaTauri in both the Sprint and full-length race.
But having had seven-time World Champion Hamilton in his sights late on, he felt frustrated to have not been able to mount a challenge.F1 penalty points: Sao Paulo podium finishers all have licences wiped clean “But yeah, overall, I mean, P16 to P9 is still good. Well done to the team, I think it’s also unfortunate for Daniel that he had also been off on his side, we would have scored points.”
