Formula 1 Newly appointed Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has said that the French squad’s current car has ‘reached its limits’ and is looking to develop the ‘best ever car’ ahead of the swathe of new technical regulations next season. The teams’ current car piloted by two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso, and Frenchman Esteban Ocon is very much an evolution of last years’ Renault – Rossi admits that the team has got all they can out of the A521. “What we want to do is carry on building on what we’ve done.
