At the beginning of May, the head of the Alpine brand, Laurent Rossi, made severe criticisms of his Formula 1 team following a disappointing start to the season, according to him. When asked to comment on these remarks, Otmar Szafnauer acknowledged that the new Enstone organization still needed time to settle in.<\/p>\n
The changes at the factory are being integrated. It’s just a matter of always working hard. Delivering the best performance takes time, but it will come. I’ve been here for a year and a half. I now understand how the team operates. The plan is in place.<\/p>\n
In response to the question of whether he feels under pressure as the primary person responsible for the team’s results, the American leader doesn’t hesitate to say that Formula 1 and pressure cannot be dissociated.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Am I under pressure? We are in Formula 1, so we are constantly under pressure. Except maybe Red Bull, who is only satisfied with what is happening. I repeat, we need time, but the results will be there soon,\u00bb concludes Szafnauer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
