The engineer in whom Tost had lost trust, fired
On Friday during a press conference, Franz Tost stated that the engineer he didn't trust anymore was no longer part of the team. What does this bring back to life in terms of optimism for the Austrian?
During the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend, Franz Tost declared the following regarding the performance of his AlphaTauri since the beginning of the season: “There are various programs in progress, but the engineers tell me that we are making good progress, but I no longer trust them. I just want to see the lap times because that’s the only thing that matters.”
« During the winter months, they told me that the car was fantastic, that we were making great progress, and then we arrive in Bahrain, and we’re nowhere. What should I say? » he had declared in Jeddah.
The engineer in whom Tost did not have confidence is sidelined
Since then, the car’s performance has improved: Yuki Tsunoda notably scored the team’s only points with two 10th place finishes in Australia and Azerbaijan. This question of Tost’s confidence in his engineers resurfaced during this Friday in Miami.
“The person I no longer trusted has left, as you can imagine, and the other people I trust. It’s very easy. And they are doing a good job,” said Franz Tost at the press conference.
