At the beginning of May, Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi lashed out at the team and Esteban Ocon took the podium in Monaco. Rossi is happy that his words have had an effect.
Laurent Rossi: “I’m happy for the team. I hope my critique worked, although it’s too early to tell. It is clear that there are a number of areas where we need to improve. Refining the car will take time, this will require regular updates – and we are preparing them.
In the last two Grand Prix’s the team has shown fighting spirit, now they are performing exactly as they should, so I’m happy. But I understand that the circuit in Monaco is unique and it is premature to expect such results in other Grands Prix. I would really like to, but first you have to work seriously.
Otmar Safnauer? His responsibilities include leading and directing the team. He is responsible for this. Alpine has many challenges, different machines to develop, different markets to open. The leaders of these projects are less well known, but they bear the same responsibility. Otmar is one of them.”
