Fernando Alonso immediately recognised parts of the Alpine package for 2021 that do not “work”. “What I’ve heard from the team is that he seemed as if he had never left F1,” he said. “It took him 10 laps to find the limit of the car and then he got out and said ‘this doesn’t work, this doesn’t work either’.”. “But if we are going to perform at about Ferrari’s level, I don’t know who that will be bad news for – for us or for them.”. Fernando wouldn’t be happy if we just let this season go,” he said.
