Alpine is in the building phase that led to the kind of success enjoyed in Formula 1 recently by the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes. When asked to name a goal for the future, Renault CEO Luca de Meo told Corriere dello Sport: “To put everyone in a position to work at their best. “That’s how it works,” de Meo responded when asked about that. “It also worked like that for Mercedes, who also benefitted from regulations that allowed them to start with a two-year advantage over the others,” the Italian added. “First of all, there is no doubt that the new engine works. I figured it would take a year to put the house in order. “Labelling us as going for third place is put on us from the outside.”.
