AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX
Red Bull Ring, Spielberg
8-10 July 2022
Yuki Tsunoda
“I am glad that we can go racing again after just a few days to put the Silverstone race behind us. The only good moment of that weekend was on Saturday afternoon when we worked well in the wet conditions to qualify better than we had hoped, based on how Friday went.
I couldn’t do anything about the collision after the start and later unfortunately I had the incident with Pierre. We discussed it as a team and now we move forward.
I like all the fun things that Red Bull gets us to do as part of the build up to races, but although this is a home race for the company, I don’t think we have too many crazy things planned this year, as Austria is the second race of a back-to-back. We will be fully focussed on making up for the disappointment of Silverstone.
I enjoyed this race last year, making it through to Q3 and scoring a point for tenth place. And going further back, I finished second in Formula 2. It’s a short lap in terms of time, just over a minute. It could be a slightly difficult weekend for us, as I’m not sure the high speeds will suit our car that well.
Our performance level has been different at various tracks, so you never know what to expect really. It’s not a difficult track to set up the car and you run a medium set-up in terms of downforce for the high-speed sections.
Looking at how we performed here last year, I expect we could be quite competitive.”
