Lindblad pleased with ‘damage limitation’ for Racing Bulls

Racing Bulls and Alpine continue their intense fight for fifth place in the Constructors' Championship. Following the Italian Grand Prix, Arvid Lindblad characterized the team's double points finish as a crucial piece of damage limitation, especially given Alpine's unexpected qualifying speed. While Alpine’s Pierre Gasly secured a shock pole position, he eventually finished seventh ahead of Lindblad and his own teammate Franco Colapinto, with Yuki Tsunoda recovering well to finish in the points. Racing Bulls currently hold fifth in the standings with 75 points, leading Alpine by 13 points, with Lindblad highlighting that the team's car remains robust and competitive across varying track layouts. Tsunoda, making a return to the cockpit, expressed gratitude for the team's effort after his own difficult qualifying session. Despite minor confusion during a race restart, he was pleased to contribute to the team’s total as the battle for 'best of the rest' intensifies in the closing stages of the season.
