'It's given us a really strong backbone, a good skeleton in the car. We've got very efficient technologies in there.' 💬 Alpine says the 'strong backbone' in its A522 car has helped it climb above McLaren on the F1 grid ⬇️
The Enstone-based squad has unleashed an intense development push on its A522 that has allowed it to pull clear in the battle for best-of-the-rest behind Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.
This effectively revolved around the packaging of the power unit and other mechanical items – including suspension, gearbox and radiators – to ensure that they do not hamper what the team wants to do with the car’s aerodynamics. Harman said that the freedom the aerodynamicists have means that Alpine is in a position where its progress is only limited by ideas.
“And I think you can see that there is nothing in the way for our aerodynamicists. It's only our own ideas that are limiting us at the moment. So it's an important philosophy and I think it's allowing us to move forward.”
