Alfa Romeo were 'slightly irritated' by the 'very late' decision to tweak the floors as 'usually late changes are favouring bigger outfits.' F1
“But the changes are mainly on the floor side where the FIA decided to lift the edges by 15mm, it doesn’t sound a lot but it was enough to keep us scratching our head and having to re-do all the floor and rear end of the car alongside those new rules, so I’m pretty happy with the progress we made.”
Having sunk to ninth place with only 13 points in the 2021 Constructors’ standings, Alfa were reborn last season. With Fred Vasseur enlisting an all-new driver lineup of Zhou and Bottas, they vaulted up to sixth ahead of Aston Martin, Haas, Alpha-Tauri and Williams. “I’m under the assumption that at least the midfield will be more close together because of rules in place limiting the amount of tests you can do depending where you were,” Monchaux added.
