The contact with the apron buckled the right‑rear of Zilisch’s machine, sending it to pit road before the stage could conclude. The driver described the sequence as a frustrating but instructive moment.

Adjustments and Outlook

Despite the damage, Zilisch noted that the team’s latest pit stop had yielded a strong setup, and he remains confident that the lessons learned will translate into better results in the upcoming stages.
