2022 Alpine F1 Team

Maybe they didn't get the balance right cause of it. Don't know but they have a whole race of data collected to analyse, if it isn't obvious to them already.

Yeah they ran all compounds, plus there were periods where Ocon and Alo were following each other closely for several laps so there must be some decent data there too.

Pathetic performance, they got lucky else they are number 7 in order just before mclaren, williams and aston. I have not seen such bad race pace from Alonso for a long long time.

For sure a balance problem maybe the tyre wire was very high lets wait

Ocon definitely seemed to be better with the tyres in the race. Good that they both finished in the points. Pat Fry needs to copy that Ferrari asap

pat fry is a joke how can u be lapped with this new regulations unbelievable

Hey, they finished in the points when they didn't last year at this race.

Then Ferrari and Merc.
10 points....Haas
8 points ... Alpine
4 points.....SAT
1 Point .....SAR

PU made it to the end of the race.

This will teach me never to trust friday Race sims. Terrible pace and bad day despite points.

Them being lapped is not really surprising. They are a midfield team in a long race with significantly fast front runners.

Yeah, well. They don't get to choose. They earned the points cause they finished. Rule #1 is you have to finish.

Really only the top 3 teams were on the same lap. 7 teams got lapped.

Last year they had the excuse of putting all their eggs in the basket for new regulations. To be equally far behind in raw pace is really disappointing although sadly, not surprising.
And I dont think the PU is close to the Ferrari or even Red bull on pace. With PU homologation in place, Im not sure how they can catch up, maybe under the guise of reliability. Its clear the Ferrari PU is miles ahead which is why the satellite teams even with varying aero solutions are al doing well. I dont see them competing anytime soon which means no chance for Fernando for race wins, let alone title contention. And to think they were ahead of Ferrari on power two seasons ago.

ROFL.

The shorter FPs + new regs, with new parts flying onto the cars all the time, makes race simulations completely unreliable.

The speed is there same level as Ferrari and Redbull, better than Mercedes and they manage to finish the race without engine problems, not as the EX Hondas. So I don't think is a problem of the Power Unit and more to do with set ups and aero.

I prefer not to get too high or get too low. At this point of the regs lap time comes easy. Maybe the ride height is too high cause of porpoising.

Alpine put all eggs in this car, like Ferrari, totally new concept. Fresh start. Behind the scenes they were not interested in this level of performance.
