Not only inters though, also on softs, he stayed within 2s of Fernando for a long while. Surely Fernando was doing some tyre saving after he saw he couldn't overtake Perez but considering how qualy went for Alpine it thrived in those conditions.
Before his departure, Szafnauer had managed to secure the signature of a number of important engineers from Red Bull.
Notably the number 3 in RB's aero department, but with Otmar's departure their arrival is no longer assured.
It remains to be seen whether this is confirmed in the next few days.
That's info from AMuS/Schmidt's latest video.KimiRai wrote: ↑30 Aug 2023, 17:52A person in the confidential-renault site has posted this, not sure about its credibility but i'll share it:

Ah okay thanks for confirming. Do you happen to know who the number 3 in RB's aero dept might be?organic wrote: ↑30 Aug 2023, 17:57That's info from AMuS/Schmidt's latest video.KimiRai wrote: ↑30 Aug 2023, 17:52A person in the confidential-renault site has posted this, not sure about its credibility but i'll share it:

So is the 100 race plan on track to win the 2025 titles?
I think Ocon is faster than people think, so that might not be a big problem. Ocon faster than Perez?
I think Ocon is as fast as Perez, a good #2. I'm not sure if Gasly is a #1.JordanMugen wrote: ↑23 Sep 2023, 11:54So is the 100 race plan on track to win the 2025 titles?
It seems like Alpine-Renault's Singapore package has not brought as much performance as hoped.
Is all development work focussed on making the 2024 Alpine-Renault a front runner, at least Top 3 WCC?

Obviously, Alpine back Ocon and Gasly as their first choice of drivers.
1) No more 100 race plans about future success, it's pointless to do so. It was too much arrogance from the team in the public declarations, he let through just to see but not anymore, fired everyone involved in that already
2) Several dozens of new engineers are hired and will start working soon, can't name them yet
3) Now French and British employees should live together and stop hating each other. No more separated hotels, restaurants and activity on race weekends and at the factories because the Anglo-French war is ended since centuries.
4) A big chunk of the team (at least 100 people are concerned) will have to do a commando training with the GIGN (elite french police force) to learn team play, cohesion and efficiency
5) He will put his word in more decision. He don't understand why the former directors said it need 2 years for a new sim and infrastructures when it's the time for Renault to put of the ground an entire new factory able to make 750k cars per year. He gonna speed up every process.
6) Bruno Famin stays the Team Principal until the end of the year.
I found that on Renault diagnostics software for road cars, for no particular reason half of the diagnostics pages are in French and half of the pages are in English!
