AlphaTauri hopes to bounce back at Imola
The sister team of Red Bull is experiencing a new challenging start to the season. With two points, it is second to last in the championship. It is counting on upcoming developments at Imola to increase its level of performance.
The victory and podium finishes of Pierre Gasly seem distant. Since 2020 and the rebranding of Toro Rosso to AlphaTauri, the team has experienced ups and downs. Mostly downs. Apart from these few brilliant performances by the Frenchman, the Faenza-based team is facing significant difficulties.
Last year, both cars were swallowed up in the middle of the pack. In 2023, it’s the same story. In five races, Yuki Tsunoda has only managed to score two points. His teammate, not a single point. Yet, Franz Tost’s team has been working hard on the development of the race car. Several important changes have taken place in Australia. In Miami too.
Conclusive improvements this year
But, it is in Imola that a new floor will be brought. The team, which is almost playing at home, is counting on this piece to make up for its delay. « We are looking forward to having it on the car. It is a significant step forward, a big step forward, so we hope that it will meet expectations », announces Guillaume Dezoteux, director of performance.
The French remain confident about the improvements that this piece may offer, since according to him, the changes we have made have worked as expected.
