Any word on what Pat Fry and the team are choosing as their development direction?
I know he said he was deliberately taking a centred approach so as not to go too far down a dead end and then follow what worked for others, but it’s been a little quiet to be honest.
I was so excited for this team and am disappointed they haven’t hit the ground running near the front, but let’s see how they evolve
I doudt we'll get a heads up on any changes for Spain. We had a new rear wing for Miami and nobody knew until we saw it.
OK I stand corrected ...

“There are pieces for Spain, which is the sixth race. There will be pieces two races later [in Azerbaijan], and in the tenth [at the British Grand Prix].
“It will be a constant flow of evolutions.”

Deeper and softer
The car is one of the most forgiving in the field. The Alpine also works with a higher ground clearance. Bouncing is not such a big issue as it is at Mercedes, for example. "We drive a bit higher and harder than we would like. We drive well in the high-speed corners, but the stiffness costs us in slow corners. Our goal is to reduce the ground clearance and make the chassis softer," says Alpine- Team boss Otmar Szafnauer.
