Th\u00e9o Pourchaire had once again a rendezvous with an F1 seat. It had been scheduled for a long time with Alfa Romeo, and yet, the current leader of the Formula 2 championship couldn’t take advantage of it. He only managed to complete 4 laps, without setting a timed lap.<\/p>\n
The Alfa Romeo broke down during Free Practice 1. The brakes were causing issues and Alfa Romeo did not have time to fix the problem during the session.<\/p>\n
Th\u00e9o Pourchaire will be back on track in Formula 1 with an Alfa Romeo at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but the Frenchman is very disappointed with this situation.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I’m very disappointed of course, I prepared a lot for this practice session. The last time I drove an F1 car was during the Abu Dhabi test almost a year ago. I was looking forward to this moment, I was ready, I felt good.<\/p>\n
\u00bb This person is expressing their disappointment after a practice session in Formula 1. They had been preparing extensively for this session and were excited for it, especially because it had been almost a year since they last drove an F1 car. They were confident and felt prepared for the session.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Unfortunately, there was a small brake problem. It was dangerous to drive like that, so we preferred not to continue. The engineers tried to find the problem, but mechanical issues happen sometimes. I didn’t participate last year, unfortunately it happens in Formula 1, but I would love to be back in the car. \u00bb explained Th\u00e9o on Canal+ microphone even before the end of the session.<\/p>\n
I would have liked to do a lot more laps, I had a great schedule with me. The atmosphere is incredible and I did some not very fast laps but the track seems crazy. I’m ready as a reserve driver if needed.<\/p>\n
The ART driver will play the title in Formula 2 in Abu Dhabi while also taking part in FP1 in F1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
