Alpine wants to make strides with Alonso: 'It's all aerodynamics'
- GPblog.com
Alpine scored 22 points during the first three Grands Prix, two of which came from Fernando Alonso. Although the stable can be reasonably satisfied with the opening of the season, it wants to make quick steps forward. Indeed, Otmar Szafnauer is keen to give Alonso the car he needs to fight with the competition.
Because of the new regulations, many teams within Formula 1 are still searching for the right form. Even Alpine does not yet feel that it is getting everything out of the cars of Alonso and Esteban Ocon. Szafnauer therefore believes that Alpine needs to make quick steps.
With Alonso in the ranks, the team boss knows that Alpine is capable of great results this season. Despite his 40 years of age, the two-time world champion is still doing well. During the first three races, however, this did not yet come to the fore.
Alpine wants to raise the level quickly
Szafnauer is therefore working hard behind the scenes to make the necessary improvements, he said in an interview with AS.com. "We will definitely bring improvements, and I think everyone will do the same," Szafnauer states. "It's all aerodynamics and we won't bring a little bit of everything, but the parts that can change as much as possible."
