Bortoleto erwartet schwierigen Start für Audi beim Großen Preis von Kanada

Gabriel Bortoleto rechnet damit, beim Start des Formel-1-Grand-Prix von Kanada Plätze zu verlieren, es sei denn, er erwischt einen starken Start, während seine Rivalen straucheln. Der Audi-Pilot äußerte seine Bedenken nach einem schwierigen Qualifying in Montreal.

Bortoleto qualifizierte sich als 13. für das Rennen, während Teamkollege Nico Hülkenberg den 11. Startplatz belegte. Beide Fahrer verloren beim Start des vorangegangenen Sprintrennens vier Plätze – ein Muster, das Bortoleto auf die Leistung der Antriebseinheit des Teams zurückführt. Er beschrieb die Probleme eher als auf die Fahrbarkeit und die Leistung bezogen denn auf das Chassis.
