Mariano Angarolla considered that the weekend had been Franco's worst in Alpine in terms of car reliability, but he said that it should not be dramatized because the team had been among the most reliable—or perhaps the most reliable—despite the problems that still needed to be resolved. He added that Franco had been the driver with the fewest retirements, partly due to that reliability, and maintained that Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull had suffered numerous problems several times during the year, while this had been the first for Franco's car. Separately, he noted that Alpine needed to improve their pace and setup, which, he said, had shown ups and downs depending on the circuit. #F1 #Alpine #Fiabilidad (translated)
