Alpine F1 team leader Marcin Budkowski admitted that the team was in a lot of bad luck and problems at F1 USA.
Alpine drivers Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso started from 11th and 19th places respectively in F1 USA, with both drivers retiring, and Alpine is currently 5th in the constructors' standings, 10 points ahead of Red Bull Jr.
Commenting on last weekend's race at the Circuit of the Americas, Budkovsky said: "We had almost every problem we could think of. Aucom collided with Giovinaz on the starting lap, causing damage to the front wing. In fact, his race was over on the first lap, as it was already unlikely to make it into the points zone. At the same time, the technician was worried that the car still had a malfunction, and in order to be foolproof, we decided to let him retire. ”
"Fernando (Alonso) started from the end of the squad and he started very well and went all out into the points zone. He was under pressure to overtake, and the team struggled to provide a tire advantage with the help of a tire change strategy. As we were about to chase the car in front of us, our tail wing was in a situation and the position of the hand was lost. ”
