Vasseur discussed Turkish GP incident with Giovinazzi

Frederic Vasseur has confirmed that he has talked with Antonio Giovinazzi about the incident on the final laps of the Turkish GP.

Why it matters: Giovinazzi did not let his teammate Kimi Raikkonen overtake him after the team had asked him to do so.

Details:

• Vasseur does not want to blame Giovinazzi for the incident.
• The Alfa Romeo Racing team principal confirms that there are no disputes regarding the matter.

What he had to say:

• “At one stage Kimi pushed more, and we thought that we were able to keep the tires, and we asked Antonio either to push or to let him go.”
• “He was probably too conservative, but I don’t want to blame him. But we had the discussion.”
• “He was a bit lost with the quantity of the attack he has to do, that for sure he could be much faster. And he was too conservative.
