Bearman: “A difficult day. We were slow throughout the race”

Weekend to forget Colorless weekend in Spielberg for Haas, where both drivers of the US team did not make significant comebacks from their positions on the grid, on the contrary. Bearman, who started from 13th place, lost two positions at the start, with the Briton forced to implement a strategy to make his comeback. Never close to his direct rivals In addition to having extended the first stint, the Englishman took advantage of Carlos Sainz’s retirement to make the first pit stop under the Virtual Safety Car, but his race, at the end of the second pit stop, ended only in 14th place: “It was a difficult day and we struggled to find the rhythm. We had a bad start and lost many positions on the track, and after that I was stuck. I’m lucky to have obtained the Virtual Safety Car, but at the same time we were very slow throughout the race. I did my best, but we were nowhere near Audi, Racing Bull or Alpine, we were much slower. Today was a surprise, but also the balance was completely off and I couldn’t get it to work. Based on what I felt in the car, I’m not that surprised.” Other positions lost Unlike his teammate, Ocon gained positions at the start, but at the end of the two-stop strategy, the Frenchman constantly lost ground, to the point of being overtaken by Colapinto, relegating him to 16th place. “It’s as expected, we know there is a problem with the car, but I think the positive aspect is that we gave it our all this weekend. We made the most of the car’s potential and tried to change every component possible, but we still have the same problem. The start was incredible, we worked hard as a team to try to get the best possible result. We overtook everyone at the start and on the first lap I almost managed to get into the points. I was with the Racing Bulls, but after a while I got lapped, which is difficult to accept. We have to get the car back together, this is the first step. We lack a lot of load and the problem is that the tires are slipping. I manage to hold on for the first few laps, but after that I’m overtaken by the other cars.”
