With cloudy skies, but still a warm 29°C, the Sachsenring hosted the eighth race of the 2021 season. It is the home track of the Intact Racing Team of Memmingen, whose headquarters are only 450 kilometers away from the German Grand Prix venue, but we, at home, didn't really feel like it.
Tony, in fact, had to face a really intense weekend full of unresolved criticalities, which led him to cross the finish line today in 16th position. 🏁
After a grueling 28-lap heat battle, El Tiburón crossed the Sachsenring finish line only one spot behind the points. The Rookie had been desperately looking for an improvement with his Team throughout the entire weekend, but despite the careful and hard search, the square for today was not found.
Anyway, Tony didn't give up and he won't give up. His goal is clear and knowing his fighting and working spirit, he won't stop until things will start to turn right.
Our Italian, will have the chance to give it his all again at the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen on June 25-27, before starting his five week summer break.

🎙Tony: "Right from the first lap, the feeling was not the best and basically I was missing the same things from Friday's FP1. We have to analyze better to understand what is happening and in which direction we have to work. Obviously we will give our best again in Assen. I will not give up, I will stay focused and clear on our goals."
Team manager
🎙Jürgen Lingg:"The weekend was a bit of a shame for Tony, because he had made a good start on Friday. I really thought it was a positive debut, but unfortunately we couldn't improve over the weekend. We will take a closer look to see what we can all do better."
