After labelling the team's performance 'unacceptable' and 'amateurish' a few weeks ago, Alpine CEO Rossi concedes the strong Monaco GP weekend was 'desperately needed'. F1
It was a great weekend for the team and a much-needed boost, but Rossi is well aware of the bigger picture.
Esteban Ocon, Alpine F1 Team celebrates his third position with Pierre Gasly, Alpine F1 Team, Laurent Rossi, Alpine Chief Executive Officer and the team"So we kind of caught up, a big haul of points, which helps us strengthen at least the fifth position in a good fashion, which is nice. Rossi acknowledges that making the A523 more competitive and regularly being in the mix with Mercedes and Ferrari won't be easy."On the performance side of the car, this takes time," he says."There are going to be upgrades. We can see that the aero maturity is kind of like getting there, everyone understands the car more, we're kind of plateauing.
"Because it was strong, it was solid. And I'm glad to see that the team got back to that level. This is Alpine. And I'm sure they're very proud, and they can be."Rossi says the team management already knew what he thought, and in effect, his infamous message was for the outside world to see while wearing his corporate CEO hat.
"So you thought it was addressed to my team, it was addressed almost equally to the external world as the internal one. Rossi conducted the search that led to the hiring of Szafnauer, and at the time was adamant that he was the perfect man for the job."It became because I said that, Otmar is like threatened," he says."It's simply a reminder to all people in charge, Otmar being the top person in charge, but certainly not the only one. Otmar doesn't design the car, doesn't operate the car, he's the man who's orchestrating everything.
