Alfa romeo’s team manager Frédéric Vasseur not very optimistic speech of the F1-deck condensation.Video: IL:n F1-expert Jyrki lake grove, evaluate the setups for the new season below and to submit their views on what Alfa romeo has the potential to.

the F1 series has been divided in recent years between two layers of people. Has to be Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull, who fought paalupaikoista, prize podium investments and profits, as well as these in addition to their own in the second division in competing with the other seven in the garage.

Three of the top stables have taken the hybrid era (2014-2018) until now, run in a hundred races in 92% (277/300) of all the prize podium investment.

for the Period 2019 came into force the rule changes and second division team of the upbeat pace of the winter tests in were given many hope that the difference between the top team and the others would be strengthened and the podium have seen through the over other than Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull drivers. Finland finished in the middle of the situation of interest, therefore, that Kimi Raikkonen represented by the Alfa Romeo has appeared pre-planned in as a possible sleeper.

team manager Frédéric Vasseur was during the winter one of them, who spoke Alfa Romeo reaching up to manufacturers MM series nelossijaa which sounds realistic, considering that last season in the last quarter of the garage, collected the fifth-most points – but it Vasseur does not believe that the difference between the tip and the other teams in between would be strengthened.

– the Difference is not (the beginning of the season) as big as last year, because the tip of the stables fighting the last season long championship of the world and get this new car on the other later. Now they are in full swing in 2019 with his car and develop the car much faster than the average caste stables, Vasseur said Australia Motorsport.

the French does not give the Melbourne race for great value throughout the season. The Albert Park track is not in the picture very representative.

– All the garage have done their own work. If you look at the last ten years, Melbourne see has not responded to it, how the season has continued. The track is not very much rubber. Ring hall is never easy.

Also Valtteri Bottas is provided by the Albert Park related to this same view, although Melbourne-the success of the is statistics to see quite often also the world cup series in top positions.

a Big leap

Still one and a half months ago, Alfa Romeo -the boss Vasseur clock was in quite a different voice. At that time he told compare was stable this through the development of specifically the tip of the stables into the swing.

– It is the best way to keep track of it, what we do, because of the big stables has good resources, and if we are able to keep the difference constant, it means that we go forward, Vasseur said at the end of January Motorsport.

– to bridge our difference skyrocket overgrown compared to last year. Skyrocket.

Such a speech was quite hard, because the team did last season, the biggest development leap as none of its nine competitors. Super time comparison, where the compared to garage the faster lap times for each GP-weekend faster lap times, Sauber improved super time in 2017 in front of 1,526 percentage points. Secondly, most of his time was improved by Haas, 0,888 percentage points.

Alfa romeo’s way, ferrari’s sources of power competition, the Haas, in this season one of the swiss team’s toughest rivals in the middle of the pack, where the suspect is really smooth. Also last year’s world number four, Renault should not be forgotten. Your spoon its place in the 7-10 point battle pushed certainly also new financiers backed the Racing Point – former Force India and Red bull’s number two stables Toro Rosso.

Last year, the wallow was McLaren’s new driver duo have still an unwritten card. Instead, the worst problems drifted Williams has already been sentenced in mass with a wooden spoon.

This season will be tight, tighter than the year 2018, the Haas Kevin Magnussen evaluate mid-fight.

Manufacturers MM series place 4-10 season in 2018:

4. Renault 122 points

5. Haas 93

6. McLaren 62

7. Force India 52

8. Sauber 48

9. Toro Rosso 33

10. Williams 7
