[Team] Alpine: The cars are Racing Points

[tux]

Id love to know how much Renault have spent on testing this year. It seems like every few weeks they are out with a 2018 car. In recent memory they went to Hungaroring with Guanyu Zhou, Barcelona with Alonso they are currently at Bahrain with Lundgaard (surprised they are allowed to do this one before the GP), pre Austria GP with Ocon, Ricciardo.

As mentioned they are at Bahrain right now with Christian Lundgaard while the race team are at Imola.

Still, it is nice to see their commitment to the junior driver program.

You realise the young drivers generally pay to test??

You realise that i do realise that young drivers often realise their dreams through the release of money, yes.

Another day, another day of testing for Zhou at Bahrain.

Just to add Oscar Piastri also tested at Bahrain with Renault

Today it’s Alonsos turn. 😂

They are improving which is good to see. I will follow them next year even after Ricciardo has left and the irritable and ungrateful old man has rejoined them.

You have been far more relaxed in your response than the reply I was thinking of 😁

Would Nige fit into a current F1 car with the halo and all?

Why, does he need to?

[S griffin]

It was enough of a problem with the McLaren

[Aysedasi]

Somehow, I don't think he's going to get a seat fitting.......

[Peter Mallett]

Which was really my point.

Nige comes with his own halo, don't need one on the car.

Is halo your name for a tache?

Sorry, we are going off topic here

Maybe Renault have decided to introduce a 'strictly no tattoos far anyone within the management' policy, so thanks to Danny Ric, he's just had to go? :

[S griffin]

I thought did quite well with Renault, he’s helped the team move up the table, as evidenced by three podiums last year. I wish him well where ever he goes and hope Alpine don’t suffer in his absence

[schanche]

I wonder will this open the door for Redbull and Renault engines, maybe Cyril was the problem as there was no love between them.

Not sure if this is serious or sarcasm?

He has always been a one-man totally political utter disaster area!

[S griffin]

Considering where Renault where when they returned in 2016 you have to say he's done quite well. I know he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he managed to get the right drivers where he could and drivers like Ocon have said good things about him

[john ruston]

Obviously the Spanish bloke has got someone else fired?

No I don’t. The worst team boss since Sassetti. No clue.
