Formula 1 has postponed the introduction for known reasons new technical regulations for the 2022 season. Fernando Alonso is with the team Renault signed a two-year contract, but Cyril Abiteboul says yes Sleep he wants the team to focus on this year’s new race cars.
"For him, everything revolves around 2022. The 2021 season hardly interests him," so Abiteboul. "He will also be racing for us in 2021, so you might think he has a lot of interest that we are competitive even then, but he says: 'You know what, forget about 2021. It's not that we won't drive the 2021 season with dignity. , but it's mostly about 2022. '" Abiteboul he hopes they will be able to emulate the success of other teams, which they have achieved in the past technical changes. Above all Mercedes Benz, which is the year since the introduction of hybrid technology 2014 won all the titles.
"This kind of thinking, this kind of ability to plan ahead, this kind of experience of building success a year in advance in Formula 1 and by sacrificing the seasons before it, has happened every time in the history of Formula 1,”He says Abiteboul. "This is a philosophy that Alonso can bring, which is extremely beneficial for me as a team boss, but it is useful for most people if it brings some peace to the team. Fernando knows Formula 1 to the last detail. He has this ability to draw up a plan, a strategy, not only for the racing team, but for the entire Formula 1 program," Ends Abiteboul.
