I thought the DRS was deliberately disabled because it made the porpoising issue unbearable?Kamel wrote: ↑26 Feb 2022, 08:35There is still no information on the non-working DRS. As far as I know, the hydraulic drive is located on the rear wing. In this case, the team initially knew about the problem with the hydraulics, but it’s good that they managed to overcome 250 laps before going off

Remember it wasn't a real test, it was a shakedown. IMHO this was more about testing the new suspension and getting aero correlation and for Alpine get more real world Kilometers on the PU in the car.Mansell89 wrote: ↑26 Feb 2022, 00:12I got the impression Alpine came to Barca to iron out issues and that we may see their true ideas in Bahrain. I’d be really disappointed in them if they don’t make a damn good fist of these new regs because it feels like forever they had their eye on these changes.
Pat Fry is no mug though and I won’t write them off - I’d have liked to have seen more here but ultimately Bahrain is where it will become clearer.
Interesting- hopefully more to come from them
