Toyota's kamui_kobayashi believes his team would have lost to Alpine at Monza with or without his clash with the race-winning car in the penultimate hour: WEC
Kobayashi and his teammates aboard the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, Jose Maria Lopez and Mike Conway, finished a distant third as a result of damage sustained in the incident along Monza's start/finish straight with the Alpine A480-Gibson Matthieu Vaxiviere late in the penultimate hour.
But Kobayashi reckons that he was fighting a losing battle against the Alpine and that second and third was the best Toyota could have hoped for. "At the end of the day I don’t think it really changed our final position. We weren’t quite good enough today so we need more for the next race."Third place at Monza leaves the #7 Toyota crew's title defence hopes hanging by a thread, as Kobayashi, Lopez and Conway now trail by 30 points with only two races left to go at Fuji and Bahrain.
