Alexander Albon confesses to a stupid mistake in Hungary

It must be admitted that the exit from the trackAlex Albon at the very start of the second free practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix, was the only “event” of the rainy afternoon at the Hungaroring.

Having made a mistake after hitting the grass at turn 14, the Thai from Toro Rosso ended his race, and his day, in the tire wall, hit sideways by the #14 STR23.

The young pilot was quick to recognize his faults in this incident. “I made a mistake at the last corner by putting a wheel in the grass. Honestly, it was a stupid mistake and an error in judgment, describes Albon.

It certainly wasn't ideal, but in some ways it's better today than in Free Practice 3."

Especially since the resident of the Faenza stable seemed to have identified improvements for his car, appeared delicately in EL1. “We struggled a bit with the car, but we knew where we needed to improve, Albon analyzes.

When we started free practice 2, we made some changes and we could immediately see, during my two laps, that it was really positive. »

Daniel Kvyat, just crowned with his unexpected podium in Germany, rose to 13th then 10th position during the day's two sessions. It's up to the Toro Rosso drivers to get back into the match for points tomorrow in qualifying.
