such as notably slow pit stops he said unfortunately we know it's something we need to work on today it cost me 10 seconds after the Bahrain GP we know that it wouldn't have given us any points but it will be important in the future when we get closer to points again in Saudi Arabia this weekend the performance is also expected to be be poor gastle reported we will not have any developments in jeda but we have to learn a lot of things about this new car there are things to refine after that there will be no Revolution and we will have to continue working step by step some people might argue that

development of the factories behind the Formula 1 Project we have decided to make these organizational changes as we can clearly see that we are not where we want nor need to be in terms of performance level and it is time to take another step in terms of organization and people confirmed famine in a statement rumors suggest that Alpine's disappointing start to 2024 following a season of management changes last year might lead to Reynold withdrawing from F1 however according to Kleiner zitong correspondent Maas yanish this is unlikely he believes that with the sports increasing

in amid Alpine's deep F1 crisis Luca Deo renault's CEO made a rare appearance at a Formula 1 race coinciding with the deepening crisis of the French marks Alpine team following the disappointing performance of the team's new 2024 car which qualified on the last row of the Grid in Bahrain estan oon and Pierre gazley managed only p17 and p18 in Saudi Arabia we thought we were closer but we're still so far away remarked okon to Canal plus after Friday's qualifying session gazley echoing similar sentiments stated we are where we expected gastley also mentioned having spoken with Luca Deo

lot and trying to find solutions to make the necessary changes in the team I don't want to give the same speech every weekend but it takes a little time in the meantime we need to try to learn as much as possible about this car and get the most out of it as of now Deo has not extensively communicated with the media in Saudi Arabia but he mentioned that he had arrived to show my support to the team
