The French motorsport engineer has been with the team since 2017. He has tons of concerns about team positions and future prospects.
“A real performance deficit in qualifying,” says Alfa Romeo Skipper
The 52-year-old Alfa Romeo boss is not very happy with the results the team has achieved since the start of the 2020 season. He has highlighted the problems he is currently facing and knows how to solve them by staying calm.
“The Hungaroring is a complicated course in nature because you cannot overtake in the race. So, of course, starting from the back of the grille is not forgiving. It’s a shame because the pace in the race was really good.
“Kimi wasn’t helped by the 5-second penalty either, which meant that he lost contact with the group of Ocon, Norris and others,” said the team boss.
“We know where our deficit comes from, but it is important to understand why we are unable to match the AlphaTauri or the Renault in qualifying.
“In the race we were faster than Haas, one of whom landed in the points! We need to understand because we are not going to get out of the back of the grille by starting. “

About solving the problems, the boss said: “We suffer from a real deficit in qualifying that everyone sees, but we shouldn’t get upset about it.
“You have to stay calm and not overreact to try to understand because that’s not how it works. We have to be realistic. We’ll drag ourselves with this handicap as long as we don’t manage to make better use of this package in qualifying.
“It will take a while as there is some form of budget uncertainty as well. We don’t know what money we’re going to lose and we have to tighten our belts until we have a better view of the number of races on the calendar. “
