Daniel Ricciardo says AlphaTauri has understood the “fundamental” reasons for its struggles in Las Vegas and is optimistic the team
AlphaTauri scored points in each of the last three races in the triple header in the Americas, moving them up to eighth place in the Constructors’ Championship. However, their performance in Las Vegas was hindered by grip issues on the low-grip surface. The team has analyzed the problem and believes they have identified the fundamental reasons behind the struggles. Despite Williams’ missed opportunity in Las Vegas, AlphaTauri still has a chance to close the gap in Abu Dhabi. Daniel Ricciardo is confident that the team will have a stronger showing at the more conventional Yas Marina Circuit. This weekend’s race also marks the final round for long-serving Team Principal Franz Tost, whom Ricciardo believes the sport will greatly miss due to his integral role in the team’s development.
