Alfa’s engine partner Ferrari has shied away from presenting updates in 2022, and group manager Mattia Binotto stated the strategy was not to bring brand-new parts to Imola since the sprint weekend format suggested there will be minimal time to shot them.

However Vasseur states the Alfa technique is to present updates as quickly as possible rather than concern too much about the complexities of the specific place.

“If you wait like this, after Imola it’s Miami, which is rather challenging. Then you have Barcelona, which is allright, however then it’s Monaco, it’s Baku, it’s Montreal.

“You have maybe 2 various approaches inbetween the groups. Is it mucheasier to bring a huge bundle each 4 occasions, or to shot to present one part every single occasion?

“We did like this 3 years ago, duetothefactthat 2 years ago, and last year, we didn’t establish the automobile.

“And I believe it was really effective for us, and we will have the verysame technique. We will attempt to bring updates, not every single race, however nearly.

“And we’ll have the veryfirst one in Imola, another one in Barcelona, and we will attempt to continue to push and to establish as long as we can.”

Vasseur acknowledged that the sprint format made it moredifficult to present modifications to the carsandtruck, however he firmlyinsisted that the group can cope.

“For sure it’s not easy when it’s at the start of the season, and we are still into the procedure of presenting updates and so on. But I believe it’s the verysame for everyone.

“It’s in the hands of the group to choose if they desire to have an upgrade or not. It’s up to the chauffeurs to be allset to do a great task in complimentary practice. We understand the guideline today, and for me it’s not a drama. You have heaps of champions all over the world with one hour of totallyfree practice, or even less.

“But at the end of the day, it’s constantly the finest motorist who is winning the champion.”
