Formula 1 | Alfa Romeo, maximum confidence in the news planned for Monaco

Formula 1 Alfa Romeo GP Monaco – Optimism at Alfa Romeo for the technical updates scheduled for the C43 in view of the Monaco Grand Prix, sixth round of the 2023 Formula 1 world championship. Despite the "narrow" characteristics of the Monte Carlo road, not suitable for presenting new features on the track , Guanyu-Zhou e Valtteri Bottas they can't wait to see first-hand the progress made by the car with the latest updates, which should allow the team to compete on equal terms with Haas and McLaren.

“There were no conditions to hold the race in Imola and the commitment to safety must always come first,” said Guanyu Zhou. “I send my best wishes to all those affected by the flood. I spent a lot of time in Italy a few years ago and I have very fond memories. I can't wait to race in Monaco. It's the only Grand Prix where everyone wants to do well and where every little detail can make the difference. In Miami we showed some progress and we must maintain this momentum because there are still improvements to be made. At Imola we decided to make some updates to the C43 and we will also have them in Monaco this weekend. We hope they help us make a positive change and get back into the points."

Here are Valtteri Bottas' impressions: “Although we were all very eager to race, not continuing with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was the right decision. I express all my solidarity and support for the affected populations and I look forward to returning to Imola in the future. Monaco is a race that needs no introduction: it's simply special and also it's raced at home, so I can't wait to sleep in my own bed! I'm very motivated to do well here, where you have to give your all and push your performances to the limit."

“The single-lap pace we showed in Miami was an improvement on previous races and could be crucial on a track where qualifying performance is so important,” he continued. “There is still work to do and the team has taken the time necessary after Miami to continue working on the development of our car. We will continue to push, with the aim of further improving our performances and adding more points to our palmarès."
