.alfaromeoorlen says its AbuDhabiGP approach was one of 'making life difficult' for AstonMartinF1 to beat it to sixth in the F1 constructors' rankings. Story:
"So that was the case today. I stopped early, while the tyre was still fresh, but then we could be undercut by Sebastian and Lance, then we try to basically hold them up as much as possible to make a more clear window for others.
"I think it was very important that we were able to achieve that. We really gave everything out there today, and really happy for the team. "Considering where we were in qualifying, Valtteri had to really try something extremely risky, a gambling strategy, while on my side I was trying to just stay up there and see if we can make a difference."So in the end, it was super close, equal on points but yeah, I knew that every small margin makes a difference. It's really important for the team for next year."
