Alpine brings a new flat bottom to Monaco
This news should delight the drivers and particularly Esteban Ocon, who, after the Spanish Grand Prix, pushed his team to make more changes to join the more efficient teams ahead of them.
It was Otmar Szafnauer himself who confirmed the information, while already planning the next areas of improvement for the Alpine. “At the next race we will have a new flat bottom for about four races. The biggest area of aerodynamic production right now is the floor. In between, we’ll include more stuff, like a new chassis. »
Faced with different strategies for the pace of development, Szafnauer thinks it all depends on the budget ceiling. “Some teams have strategies and it all depends on the limits of the budget. It can be less expensive to include all the learnings in a single evolution than to make small improvements to each course. For our part, as soon as we discover something new, we design it and bring it to the track. Our strategy is not based on accumulation and then design. »
