Toyoji Tanabe, Honda F1 Technical Director, recalls the last race of the 2020 F1 World Championship Round 11 F1 Eifel GP.
In the Eifel F1 GP final held at the Nürburgring, Germany, Red Bull Honda’s Max Felstappen finished second on the podium, and Alpha Tauri Honda’s Pierre Guthrie finished sixth. On the other hand, Danil Kubiat finished in 15th place and Alexander Alban retired, resulting in a dichotomy between the drivers of both teams.
Ferstappen, who was on the podium in second place after the F1 Russian GP, set the fastest lap on the last lap and scored another point. Guthrie, who won sixth place, also scored points for the second consecutive race.
“Today’s Eifel GP final was held with a very low temperature on the road surface, in addition to the low outside temperature of less than 10 degrees Celsius, which is unusual for F1,” commented Toyoji Tanabe.
“Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s Felstappen won the podium in second place for the second race in a row since third in qualifying. It’s a podium that empowers us with the acquisition of the fastest lap. I’m sorry
“Scuderia Alpha Tauri Honda’s Guthrie, who started from 12th, finished sixth in a strong race that showed several overtaking in the fierce battle of the middle group. This is also Guthrie and the team. And for us, it was a great encouragement. for the second half of the race. “
“On the other hand, his teammate Kubiato unfortunately finished 15th due to the loss of the front wing on early contact, and for Red Bull Honda’s Arbon the radiator was dirty on the track. I decided to retire mid-race because it was corrupted and I confirmed an anomaly in the power unit data. “
“A week from here, it will be the first race in Portugal for F1. Of course, it is the first time that I race with the current PU, so I would like to prepare well in advance.”
“Finally, I would like to congratulate Hamilton on behalf of Honda for accomplishing the feat of aligning himself with Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 victories in today’s race.”
