Alpine head Bruno Famen said the team had once again prepared a series of technical innovations for the Chinese Grand Prix – one stage ahead of schedule. It is true that so far the new items have been created in one copy.
Bruno Famen: “The race in Japan underlined how serious the challenge we face to return to a competitive level is. We have to keep improving the car to be able to compete for higher positions. Needs to improve in all areas.
The team has brought the first updates to Suzuka, but we need more. We are working with maximum efficiency, which means we will be bringing the following new single-car products to the race this weekend earlier than originally planned.
It has been five years since Formula 1 last came to China. This is a big time for Formula 1, so unique challenges await drivers and teams this weekend. The cars are radically different from those of 2019, so the preparation for the stage is a bit different than normal.
Shanghai has a good circuit with long straights and long corners, which have caused a lot of tire degradation in the past. Given that the weekend will be held in a sprint format, we will have less time to prepare, so it is extremely important to choose the right settings from the start.
Both drivers came to Enstone last week to work on the simulator and prepare for the challenges that await them this weekend.”
