Bortoleto blames optimism for British Grand Prix crash

uol.com.br (Portuguese)

Brazilian Formula 1 driver Gabriel Bortoleto crashed out of the British Grand Prix after only four laps due to an error, ending his race early. He admitted to being overly optimistic with his tire strategy. Bortoleto spun and hit a barrier after a tire change, losing his rear wing. He had opted for a risky strategy of using dry tires on a damp track, which ultimately backfired. Four other rookies also failed to finish the race. Bortoleto's teammate, Nico Hülkenberg, achieved a podium finish, providing a positive note for the team. Bortoleto aims to score points in the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix later this month.
