Buy tickets<\/a><\/p>\nWhen it came time to talk about the incident, van Gisbergen offered a series of short answers.<\/p>\n
Quizzed on what started the incident, he said, \u201cAsk the next guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quizzed on whether it was a racing incident, he replied, \u201cIt\u2019s just unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n
And finally, when quizzed on how disappointed he was, he answered, \u201cI\u2019m filthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zilisch, meanwhile, lay the blame squarely on Hill in his post-mortem.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was pretty far from the wall and didn\u2019t give me any space,\u201d Zilisch explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it aggressive, I\u2019d call it a little more egregious than that. That\u2019s how it goes sometimes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a big hit. Concrete walls are no joke, but I\u2019m thankful for the safety of these cars and how far we\u2019ve come as an industry. It\u2019s rare you feel fine after a wreck, and that\u2019s the case today.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate for us. Our car was really fast today \u2013 both Shane and I collectively.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt stings. When you have a chance to go and win a race and you\u2019re in a prime spot and you get put in a position like that, it\u2019s extremely tough.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really hate it for everyone at Trackhouse, Red Bull. This was a huge weekend for us and to have both cars out is really unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the time of publication, Hill had not spoken to the present media. However, he admitted fault over the radio in the immediate aftermath.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry guys,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLocked up the rear brakes. I think the left rear is pretty destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having elected not to take any Stage 1 points, van Gisbergen is poised to drop below the cut line.<\/p>\n
He will have an opportunity to rebound at Sonoma in a week but stood to put himself well above the cut line with a strong showing in San Diego.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuckily we\u2019ve got a good next week, but unfortunately we\u2019ll be in group one (qualifying) again which makes it tougher,\u201d said van Gisbergen.<\/p>\n
