Bortoleto prevê início difícil para a Audi no GP do Canadá

Gabriel Bortoleto espera perder posições na largada do Grande Prêmio do Canadá de Fórmula 1, a menos que consiga uma boa saída enquanto seus rivais enfrentam dificuldades. O piloto da Audi expressou preocupações após uma sessão de classificação desafiadora em Montreal.

Bortoleto classificou-se em 13º para a corrida, enquanto seu companheiro de equipe, Nico Hulkenberg, ficou em 11º. Ambos os pilotos perderam quatro posições na largada da corrida sprint anterior, um padrão que Bortoleto associou ao desempenho da unidade de potência da equipe. Ele descreveu os problemas como sendo centrados na dirigibilidade e na potência, e não no chassi.
