Hiroki Tsunoda spoke about his outlook for the remaining races of the 2023 F1 World Championship at the Mexican Grand Prix press conference. At the previous race in Austin, Yuki Tsunoda took the checkered flag in 10th place and recorded the fastest lap on the final lap, becoming the third Japanese driver to do so. With the top two players disqualified, they were promoted to 8th place and earned 5 points, the same number of points as the previous team.
“It was a good moment for us,” said Yuki Tsunoda. “To be honest, of course we got a little bit lucky in some places with the car in front of us, but this is a big point for us, especially with only four races left, to make sure we stay ahead of the car in front. “It was really nice to be able to shorten the time to 2020.” “The last fastest lap… the new soft tires at the end was a lot of fun. Most of the time in a race you’re managing the tires, but… Now I can flat out. It was a great moment and I think it gave me good motivation for now. I got even more motivation from there. I think I’m ready for the rest of the race. Daniel Ricciardo, who was absent due to injury, returned as teammate at Austinto. When asked how his experience helped him during the sprint weekend, Hiroki Tsunoda said, “I think it was very helpful.” “But at the same time, we widened our strategy to maximize the race. We knew it would be difficult to score points in America. In sprint qualifying, we found that the race pace was actually quite good. But as Alex (Albon) and Nico (Hulkenberg) say, it’s all about execution. We didn’t make the most of it on Saturday, so that’s what we need to improve on going forward. Thanks to Yuki Tsunoda’s performance, we are now just 2 points behind Haas F1 Team and 6 points behind Alfa Romeo. Commenting on his goal for the remaining four races, Yuki Tsunoda said, “Of course it would be great if we could finish in the top eight, but it’s not easy.” “I think Alpine has been consistently quite fast in recent races and it won’t be easy. Two points sounds very small, but in reality it’s not that close.” We need to give it our all. But I’m optimistic. I’m thinking positive. I think our package is getting closer and closer to top 10. But we have to put everything together every race. not”
