Alpine sold that the arrival of Pierre Gasly, placing him alongside Esteban Ocon, would be an extra point for the team. They had just lost Fernando Alonso and Oscar Piastri, the most outstanding veteran and youngster of the moment in Formula 1.
But the reality of the French team is very complicated. So much so that in recent weeks there have been major layoffs and a restructuring. And Gasly, in addition, has requested more communication.
He commented on this in statements to ‘Auto Motor und Sport’: “Cars have become very complex. This gives rise to errors when you do not reach one hundred percent, especially when conditions change. You need clarity in communication with the equipment”.
“I still feel that I am in a kind of learning process. Not always, but on certain issues or in communication. I would like to be able to say that we are already 100%, but that kind of thing takes time”, declared the who was an AlphaTauri pilot.
And he acknowledges that his contribution to the development of the car has been minimal: “This Alpine is the evolution of last year’s car that Esteban and Fernando drove. I have not contributed anything to this car.”
“Some things that I want are not possible with the existing package. However, I hope that the car will suit me better at the end of the year. Then I will also be able to give the team better feedback and the engineers in turn will be able to translate it into improvements or in the new car for 2024”, has sentenced Gasly.
