Ocon wants set-up changes after China F1 sprint as "performance left on the side"
The Frenchman was given Alpine’s new floor upgrade originally planned for Miami, but it was fast-tracked for the Chinese Grand Prix with changes to the diffuser, front fences, and floor edge wing. Despite the improvements, driver Ocon felt his car’s setup was off for sprint qualifying and adjustments were necessary before the proper qualifying session. Ocon expressed disappointment, believing there was more potential in the car that wasn’t fully utilized during the limited practice time. Pierre Gasly, on the other hand, was satisfied with his performance despite not having the upgrade, dealing with an ERS issue in practice but delivering a strong lap in qualifying. Gasly remains optimistic, looking forward to receiving the new parts in Miami to push for better results and possibly points finishes.
