F1 | Alesi looks at the glass half full: “It's not a bad season for Ferrari”

Jean Alesi goes against the grain of recent judgments on Ferrari. For the Frenchman, who among other things has experienced the reality of Maranello first hand having driven the Rossa in the first half of the 90s, the current season which sees the Cavallino team as protagonist is not negative. On the contrary. In fact, Alesi, despite the errors that had a negative impact on the progress of some races, believes in the team led by Mattia Binotto, underlining the excellent work done on the F1-75.

"It's not a bad season for them – Alesi declared to Give Me Sport – Because in recent years they have had a bad car and bad championships. They barely made the podium, then last year they recovered a bit. And now with these new regulations they have designed a rocket car that is fast everywhere. Obviously we are halfway through the season and now we can make a judgment on what happened. They had moments where they made the wrong decision at the wrong time. And see how a small mistake can have a big effect from a negative point of view. AND  more important to have a fast car, and then to fine-tune the team, because this team has been winning a championship for a long time and they are building a group".

Alesi, completing his analysis, said: “I believe so much in Mattia Binotto and in this young team that has to fight against engineers like Adrian Newey, a superstar. As an engineer he has always made winning cars and, to be honest, the Ferrari seems faster, so this is a great achievement. Criticism from the press or fans is normal because Ferrari is Ferrari".
