Frustrating day for Antonio Giovinazzi at the Austrian GP

The Italian had a tough day at work at the Austrian GP as he could only finish P14. Giovinazzi was forced into making an early pit stop after a collision with Esteban Ocon on the first lap. In addition, the stewards penalized the Alfa Romeo driver for overtaking Fernando Alonso under the safety car.

“A frustrating day: just as last week, our race was compromised on the first lap. I had contact with Esteban and had to pit: we had a good pace afterward but everyone was pretty close and it was very difficult to recover much,” said Alfa Romeo’s, Antonio Giovinazzi.

I got stuck behind a Williams, then even got a penalty—a weekend to forget. Hopefully, we can have a better race in Silverstone as the performance was not bad.”
