Alpine A521 indicated at certain points in the season that he has potential, but the French team has not yet achieved top results this year. They are currently in seventh place in the sum of constructors and are far from being with McLarn in Ferrari could fight for third place in the championship. Aston Martin in Alpha Tauri are more realistic targets, but for a serious trio it will be necessary to regularly rank in the top ten with both cars, I think Marcin budkowski, team boss Alpine.
Fernando Alonso, who returned to Formula 1 after a two-year absence, has shown that he can still drive at the highest level and that he can quickly adapts to a new environment, which many racers have a lot of trouble with this season. It's on the other side Esteban Ocon after a good start he gave up a bit as he hasn’t won a single point in the last four races.
"We're a little disappointed with the start of the season," he said. adds Pole to the French team: “The race car is relatively fast, but we have eternal problems how to be constant enough in qualifying and racing. Thanks to Esteban, we have succeeded in Portugal and Spain. ”
"I think Fernando is making the most of the car he has at his disposal," he said. about his protégé he adds Budkowski. “He worked on the settings of the race car, and of course the fact that there were two races in two weeks on the same racetrack also helps. He really made progress in the last races. Everything around him is slowly getting the right image, which is good. He was also very happy with the car. ”
