Rossi believes Alpine still has more performance to come in Barcelona this weekend given the scale of the update it introduced in Monaco. We are still in fifth, which is not our objective, but at least we fight with a decent showing, so this is important.” A long way to go - it’s going to be a long season. I think they showed that they can do the work the way they used to and when they do then they score the points. Not that they didn’t put in the work, but a couple of things were not doing justice to what they’re doing. “The remarkable amount of work and skills that were put in in 20 to get the fifth and fourth position was not visible again. “To remind everyone that we shouldn’t be happy with scrappy points here and there because we can do better, this team can do much better. “Absolutely (it was the right response), my comments were just meant to do that,” Rossi told SpeedCity Broadcasting. His comments came prior to the race in Miami, and after a double-points finish in Florida the next race in Monaco saw Ocon secure third and Pierre Gasly seventh as Alpine completed a faultless weekend that included a wider performance he was proud of. Rossi was critical of the way Alpine had been performing in 2023, highlighting execution errors and car performance as being below his expectations while also increasing the pressure on team principal Otmar Szafnauer. Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi says he got the reaction he was looking for from the team after Esteban Ocon’s podium in the Monaco Grand Prix.
