AlphaTauri doesn’t believe the HungarianGP gave a clear picture on how Daniel Ricciardo will fare in its F1 car due to the circuit and conditions masking its weaknesses Full story ⬇️
But according to AlphaTauri's head of trackside engineering Jonathan Eddolls, the characteristics of the twisty Hungaroring combined with the elevated temperatures have masked some of the car's ill-handling traits, with the jury still out on how Ricciardo will get along with his new car.
"Actually, that hasn't been one of the biggest limitations so far of the weekend, because the tyre grip and the downforce sort of masked it. It hasn't been such an issue here. But according to Eddolls, fixing its corner entry weakness is still a work in progress despite some of the team's recent upgrades, which include a tweaked floor and new front and rear wings.
"The positive is the feedback we've had from Daniel so far does confirm our sort of general direction, we need more downforce.
