Pierre Guthrie believes that winning the F1 Italian GP proved his readiness to return to Red Bull Honda, but said he wasn’t really thinking about that possibility.
Pierre Guthrie was promoted from Trorosso to Red Bull Racing in 2019 to replace Daniel Ricardo, who moved to Renault, but was replaced by Alexander Arbon and returned to Trorosso in just five months due to poor performance. ..
Since then, Pierre Guthrie has rebuilt his career with a team that was renamed Alpha Tauri. Meanwhile, Alexander Alban, who took over from Red Bull, faces a difficult 2020 season.
While Pierre Guthrie scored a shocking victory in the F1 Italian GP, Alexander Alban finished the race in 15th place on a machine that was damaged by contact with Guthrie. As a result, the drama of alternation, which is the opposite of last year, has regained attention.
When asked if he was ready to return to Red Bull Honda again or if it would be a good step towards 2021, Pierre Guthrie said he felt he could prove himself.
“I think I’m ready, but I’m not the one who should make that decision,” said Pierre Guthrie of the possibility of returning to Red Bull Honda.
“The only thing they have done since I was returned to Trorosso is focus on myself and show what I can do when I get the right tools.”
“I’m very happy with the performance we showed. We weren’t talking about Brazil (the 2019 podium) and overall we were pretty strong most of the time. We had some really strong qualifiers. I had a very strong race. Let’s see what pass “.
“Trorosso had a lot of strong drivers and I am very happy to be one of the two who won the team.”
“Of course, I think good results should be rewarded with something, but I want to see what happens.”
“I’m not really thinking about it at the moment. It’s my first F1 win and I just want to enjoy this moment because I have time to think about it later.”
The team has Sebastian Better winning the same Monza in the famous 2008 Trolosso era race.
Pierre Guthrie admits that it is difficult to accept what happened in his short F1 career, from his demotion a year ago to his victory and his new history for the team.
“I still don’t feel familiar with this world, and it’s getting better every year, and it’s constantly getting better,” said Pierre Guthrie.
“When I returned to Trolosso a year ago, I was not expecting to win. The podium (of the 2019 F1 Brazilian GP) was already unexpected and it was a great highlight last year.”
“I always try to imagine the best scenarios, the best starts, the best races, everything in the best way, but I was not prepared for that feeling.”
“We know there is only one victory in the entire history of Toro Rosso in F1.”
“In fact, Franz (Tost / Team Rep) said, ‘I’m really proud to have done that in the dry this time.’
“It was very difficult, but I am very happy to be able to show my speed.”
“Since last year, I have tried to keep getting stronger with each race. I am very happy that all the hard work we have done with Alpha Tauri and Honda today has paid off.”
