🗣️ 'We should normally be able to absorb that bump on the road, because the most important thing is the car at this stage' Alpine insists its 100-race target of fighting at the front in F1 won't change due to losing Fernando Alonso and Oscar Piastri ⬇️
While the Alpine driver market shenanigans has grabbed headlines over the summer and taken up much of the attention of CEO Laurent Rossi and team principal Otmar Szafnauer, the impact has not been felt at all on track.
And that is why Rossi is convinced that a target he set at the start of last year – of Alpine fighting at the front within 100 races – remains fully in place and does not need to change. “For now, it is not derailed because we stay the course [until the end of the year] with Fernando, so that's fine,” explained Rossi.
“I would contend that we should normally be able to simply absorb that bump on the road, because the most important thing is the car at this stage.in the 18th or 19th position car, I doubt he is going to do better than perhaps three positions extra. And the other way around: if you take a driver in that car and put them in the Red Bull, I'm pretty sure they can score a podium and the win. So the car is still the biggest driver of performance at the moment. On that end, we are delivering.
