The Alpine F1 team has been given a clear word by CEO Laurent Rossi, accusing the team of disappointing results, poor execution and an ‘amateurish’ approach. Laurent Rossi has issued a harsh criticism of the Enstone team on the eve of Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, adding to the sense of urgency and pressure on the team.
At the Miami Grand Prix, the Alpine F1 Team doubled points with Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon on the grid from 6th and 8th in qualifying, and finishing 8th and 9th in the final. But up until then, the four races to Bahrain and Jeddah had earned him only eight points in the F1 Constructors’ championship. Alpine’s goal for the 2023 season is to be “fourth in the rankings and close to F1’s top runners in terms of points and performance”. Achieving this goal is already a challenge for a team overwhelmed and trailing by Aston Martin and McLaren. And Laurent Rossi is clearly furious that the Alpine F1 team has not lived up to his expectations. “We started the year with a lack of performance and a lack of execution. It’s a big deal,” Rossi said in an interview with French broadcaster Canal+. “Because we’re in a situation where the resources we’ve put in are completely unmatched, and we’re far from reaching our end goal for the year.” We may not be at the level that this same team has achieved.”Laurent Rossi (Alpine CEO)Alpine F1 Team’s results were worsened by a double crash and retirement in Melbourne, but a significant upgrade package has improved performance. It was also exacerbated by a pointless weekend in Baku that promised a step up. “I didn’t really like the first Grand Prix, because I hate to say it, but dilettantism (amateurism) led to a mediocre, bad result instead of the right result,” said Rossi. Ocon referred to the team’s comedy of errors that resulted in him scoring his points for the three-point penalty. “And in the last race in Baku it felt like the race in Bahrain, and that’s not allowed. “The right to make mistakes, that’s the basic principle. Mistakes It’s something to learn,” Rossi points out. “The right to make mistakes, that’s a fundamental principle. You learn from your mistakes,” said Rossi. “But to make the same mistake twice means you haven’t learned, you haven’t taken responsibility, and that’s unacceptable.” and can damage the team’s reputation in the eyes of sponsors and fans.
