It looked very matured. So sad he didn't manage to pass Albono who also had an excellent race. It reminded me Monza last year(i think
) where Williams was so slippery on the straights and overtaking them was hard. Perhaps AT is more traction limited compared to Williams.
Tost: I don't trust AlphaTauri engineers after underperforming F1 car
AlphaTauri Formula 1 team principal Franz Tost has taken the dramatic step of saying that he doesn’t trust his engineers after the AT04 failed to live up to expectations.
"The engineers are telling me that we will make some good progress, but I don't trust them anymore.
"During the winter months they told me the car is fantastic, we've made a big progress," he said. "Then we come to Bahrain and we are nowhere. What should I say?"
Seems almost similar to the situation at Mercedes...organic wrote: ↑17 Mar 2023, 18:49https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/tost- ... /10444854/

I don't understand why people like Franz tost and Gunther Steiner are paid for their job and why they are in the job. Both are total failures.Wouter wrote: ↑17 Mar 2023, 22:45Tost doesn't seem like a nice boss to work for. He demands very much from his people, too much.
For example, he thinks they could race a GP every weekend, but that would be too much for the fans!
He doesn't think at all that that is too much for the people of SAT, always away from home.
He also thinks the summer break is nonsense, just keep working.
When you talk about everything like that I can imagine that the engineers wanted to keep him happy by saying that the car had been improved to keep the peace. Tost is not as easygoing/a nice man as he seems to his people.
If a driver said goodbye / had to say goodbye, he never paid attention to it. Rarely seen a nice message from him in the media.
Very disrespectful. What he said today about the engineers to the media also shows very little respect. That's what you keep indoors.
I always liked him very much but the last two years he has shown how he really is.
Seems was Tost was on a holiday and came back finding the car bad.Wouter wrote: ↑17 Mar 2023, 22:45Tost doesn't seem like a nice boss to work for. He demands very much from his people, too much.
