As quoted from Motorsport.com, Alonso said, “We are constantly trying to make the team stronger and we are working hard to prepare for 2022 in the best possible way.”
“Right now, I think we’re in better shape than we were in March 2021. But we still have a few things to fix. We definitely need to close the gap on the engine side. So we have a new project in this part and we also need to close the aero performance gap,” he concluded. (Translated from Turkish via Google)
