🗣 'We started the season in bad shape.' Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi says the team arrived at the first F1 test of 2022 “in shambles” before recovering to finish fourth in the constructors’ championship:
managed to score a podium in 2022, both were regular fixtures in the points and finished eighth and ninth respectively in the final standings.
It marked a successful first year for Alpine under its new management structure, headed up by Rossi and with Otmar Szafnauer installed as team principal following the exit of executive director Marcin Budkowski at the end of last season.Rossi explained that the new team structure was always intended to pursue an aggressive upgrade approach through the year, contributing to its fourth-place finish.
"At the beginning of the season, the goal was to put a new structure in place, which we did,” said Rossi. “That structure was supposed to deliver innovations, upgrades throughout the entire season, to be more competitive, which we did, which culminate ultimately in a better position. “So it is important [to finish fourth] not just financially but also for the momentum. We said we would try and progress every year to catch up as much as we can with the top teams. It's important not to miss the first step.”
