Laurent Rossi, CEO of the Alpine team, also expressed suspicions, although he does not want to point a finger at anyone because he does not know the details - Photo: HB Press

On the team side Alpine, so he is the CEO Laurent rossi said: “I know the suspicions, but I wouldn’t say… I wouldn’t point a finger at anyone yet because I don’t know the details. That would also not be fair. But at the end of the day, we need transparency. We need to know if something went wrong or not. And if so, what is the result of that?"
