At Monza, the Alpine team scored no points for the first time in 11 races – Fernando Alonso retired due to technical problems and Esteban Ocon finished 11th. After the race, the team’s sports director Alan Permane stated that the engineers had no answer as to why the car was not having enough speed.
“Friday, on Medium tires, Fernando showed great pace with a full tank,” quotes Race fans Alan Permane. “However, in the race we didn’t have such a speed around. It is necessary to understand everything and understand what went wrong.
Speed problems started in qualifying. In addition, both drivers made mistakes, which is not typical for them, and suggests that the car is difficult to control. In the race we were unable to repeat the pace we showed in Friday practice. We couldn’t keep up with Lando Norris as he drove on an empty track.
We didn’t expect such difficulties, because after Friday I thought we were in good shape. The biggest problem is that we don’t understand what went wrong. On Friday, on a long series of laps without DRS, we were faster than McLaren and everyone else, with the exception of the top three teams. There were no signs of trouble.”
