Much cooler temps on race day and primarily a track with low to medium speed corners, just couldn't get them in the window. Binnotto said on their simulations it would struggle for 10 or so laps then they would be quicker than the medium for the rest of the stint. Ferrari saw the Alpine's struggle with them so I don't know why they still stuck with it.

That was a no brainer for Alpine. So Alpine was not even aware ALO had already signed to AM, had to find out reading a AM press release... |

Yeah. They pretty much had no choice. Nobody was going to want to go there for 1 year knowing Piastri is waiting.

So there will be no racing till the very end of August and I thought that would be a long period without F1 stuff.
What is going on at Alpine communication wise when they don’t even know who is driving for them… Are they hiring Ferrari strategist to do their press releases? Seems Piastri may be tied in to replace RIC … In for some wild few weeks for F1 news, get the popcorn out. F1 summer soap has commenced. |

Ferrari: we're the worst run team in F1
Alpine: hold my beer Losing both Alonso and Piastri in a span of two days, someone's getting canned for sure. |

The best part is how they managed to look like morons over the whole deal. I thought Otmar Szafnauer was supposed to be a savvy team principal from his time at Force India.

I'm pretty sure the Ferrari strategists are sponsored by the new movie Minions.
What an unbelievable bunch of f'ing idiots.
