“Ferrari and McLaren will rise in 2022”, was the winter forecast of Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, fully respected by F1-75, much less by MCL36 which in Australia seems to have got back on track after a nightmare start to the championship. In addition to the Scuderia di Maranello, another manufacturer that had framed the new regulation for some time is Alpine, which during the winter tests highlighted several reliability problems as well as in the first seasonal races where in particular Fernando Alonso had several technical problems. . There Alpine has a completely new power unit that has yet to be fully understood by the transalpine engineers, but if on the one hand the reliability is still greatly improved at least the performance is saved and how, judging by the partials of the fastest sector of the Melbourne circuit where Alonso is was among the fastest in Qualifying.
In spite of a poor ranking – he boasts just two points – the Spaniard is satisfied by the signals sent out in terms of competitiveness by the A522 and intends to run another two or three years to experience the growth of this project in conjunction with the freezing of the development of power units. The two-time world champion has in any case admitted that in this 2022 it is difficult to imagine being able to achieve the performance of the Ferrari F1-75which is the reference point of the starting grid both in terms of performance and reliability: βIn qualifying in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia we were eight tenths-one second behind Ferrari – the words of the Asturian reported by Racefans.net newspaper – I think it would be a bit too optimistic to think of covering that gap in a single season, but it is also true that with these cars we cannot exclude finding a very effective solution in the wind tunnel capable of allowing a qualitative leap in level. considerable performance “.
