Alpine has a new F1 floor coming for the Singapore GP which says will mean 'a massive step of downforce'.
took seventh, the squad believes that its disappointing weekend was simply down to the high-speed Monza track not suiting the characteristics of the A522.
Sporting director Alan Permane is adamant that Monza's showing was just a one-off and, for the next race in Singapore, its low-speed nature allied to the latest development will deliver a very different picture."We've got a new floor coming for Singapore, which has got a massive step of downforce. We'll be back where we should be, and we're really looking forward to there and especially Suzuka with this car. It's going to be fun.
admitted that it did not expect to have such a troubled time in Italy, after being so competitive at the low-drag Spa-Francorchamps circuit last month.Photo by: Glenn Dunbar / However, Permane said that there were some key answers that needed digging out, such as why the team's pace fell away from what appeared to be a quite competitive Friday."We ran absolutely fine on Friday and that's the tricky thing, that's what we don't understand. Long run with no DRS, so really using your full drag, we looked alright. Quicker than McLaren and quicker than all the people that we were racing.
"Certainly we were not as quick as the top three cars, but it didn't look like there were any major dramas. We were definitely a bit high on the draggy side, but we figured that was the quickest way around here and that's where we raced.
