2022 Alpine F1 Team

when we will see it again - similar photo from Alonso after 2004 and 5?

I don't know if we will ever see it again bro. And, I can't remember what it is actually from. When Fred was at Ferrari I would post the image with the caption: "Hail Caesar" !

Why ?

Looks like the car doesn't really like point and squirt tracks. Still, double points. Hoping Canada's smoother nature helps us out a bit

spending 3 years in developing the car from Renault aka alpine for 5th best care in 2022. Thanks for their wonderful effort.

This team seems to never improve really. Always battling between 7-10th position despite promising free practice.

They are spending less than their competition. Unlike the 4 teams ahead of them, Otmar seems unconcerned about the cost cap.

That has consequences on the track. On the other hand, who knows what the penalty will be for going over. Might pay off for Alpine next year.

Welcome to the Midfield.

Why ?

great driving, good pace, good overtakes, and smashed ocon once again

Weird that SAT are in front of us and so was Vettel. Seventh is good until you realise that 2 Ferrari's DNF'd and the reason we finished ahead of Tsu was cause of a reliability issue. Hopefully we'll see some floor upgrades for Silverstone.

Smooth? Cana..da?

This car is weird to figure out. I thought the poor performance in low speed sections would suggest that they would struggle at Monaco and Spain, whereas they didnt do too bad. So then it seemed like upgrades might've worked. Yet they struggled in Baku as well. No better than 6th fastest car on raw pace. Also dont understand the decision to go ultra-low downforce setup when tyre wear has remained such a issue. Surely that hurts the tyres as well. They were losing 1.2+ secs to the leaders in the first 2 sectors. Australia quali was such a tease even though Im sure even if Alonso didnt have the problem, they wouldve struggled with tyres in the race.

[AR3-GP]

They run laptime simulation for each aero configuration and it tells them that ultra low downforce is the best for their car in Baku.

In other words, they'd be slower if they ran more downforce.

[Alonsismo]

i think they missed the aero balance at baku.

yes, they were competitive, but a little bit more aero would have been more competitive, i think we will see this at canada.

Alpine is stilll searching the perfect setup for the car.

Alpine did the best setup in Baku. You need to be fast down the straight. Even with Drs Riccardo was unable to get close. Another thing is that Renault is running a slightly longer gear ratio that helps them in combination with the small wing to get the full potential out of their engine.
