Alpine believes its A523 is not 'a Monaco-special car” and can be competitive at other circuits as well F1
“I think Max [Verstappen] is too far away and when Checo [Perez] is on his day, he will be as well. And Fernando [Alonso] is going to be very difficult, but I don’t see why we can’t race with Mercedes and Ferrari, as we have done here and as we did in Miami.Esteban Ocon, Alpine F1 A523However Permane conceded that the team hadn’t expected to go quite so well in Monaco.
“It performed well in Melbourne, it performed reasonably in Jeddah, it performed well in Miami, so we knew we were in with a shout.Ocon’s Monaco performance was built on solid progress from the first session onwards. “And obviously, he had a fantastic qualifying and that set it up from there. A little bit of help from Ferrari, of course, but it was a result completely on merit.”
“We’ve got another little upgrade coming there, as we will at most tracks, so that will go on and we’ll be able to measure a little bit more accurately where the car is.”“I don’t think that’s true,” he said. “We are learning about it every week. It certainly wasn’t an easy car in Bahrain – we didn’t have an easy test or an easy race.
