Nielsen: Enstone cars must become the best

      In a video released by the team's press office, Alpine F1 Managing Director Steve Nielsen outlined the tasks facing the team…

      Steve Nielsen: "We have great conditions, but the car we put on the track does not reflect the effort of our people or our potential.

      My main task is to make the cars from Enstone the best. We must look to the future. In this situation you have to sacrifice short-term success and invest in the future, and right now we are going through that process.

      I firmly believe that when things are not going well you learn more about the people around you than when everything is going well. And I see that there are people in the team who are willing to dig deeper, find additional speed and drive the team forward.

      I am pleased to be back in Enstone. It is a great honour for me. It is my home. Much of my professional life is tied to Enstone. It is here that I achieved my greatest successes. And to return here at such a late stage of my career is a real privilege."
