The start of the Barcelona tests was anything but simple for theAlfa Romeo. As already told in the morning, the team from Hinwil fought with a few too many problems in terms of reliability, grinding very few laps on the first day with Robert Kubica in the morning and Valtteri Bottas in the afternoon.
A new stop also arrived in the morning with the Finn at the wheel, while in the afternoon the expected debut of the cine rookie Guanyu Zhou will arrive. In a phase of work in which it is important to collect real data to confirm the path taken in the factory and to proceed with development, however, we try to remain calm and optimistic in the Italian-Swiss box.
Words of comfort came right from Kubicathe first to bring the C42 to the track in Catalonia: “Too bad because in my opinion the car is not bad. The feeling for those two laps I did, even if disturbed by a problem in the passenger compartment, was not bad at all ”.
“Now I don’t know if we will need to adapt the driving style of us drivers to these single-seaters. First you need to bring it to 100% and then understand – added Kubica – I have read that many pilots have complained about the view: I personally did not find it very different. It is true that something changes, but having raced in the Endurance World Championship in which we see practically nothing on the left side, this element does not bother me that much “.
