Racing Bulls racing Director Alan Permane believes the team’s recovery from development setbacks in the 2024 Formula 1 season showed “significant strength”.
Permane joined Racing Bulls at the beginning of the 2024 season following his departure from Alpine halfway through the previous campaign. This marked the first time in over 30 years that the F1 veteran had switched teams, having originally started in the sport at Benetton in 1989. Racing Bulls had a strong start in the midfield during Permane’s first season with them, sitting sixth in the Constructors’ standings with 28 points before the Spanish Grand Prix. However, a misstep with an upgrade package in Barcelona set them back. The team worked hard to recover from this setback, making quick changes to improve performance. Permane praised the team’s open-mindedness and willingness to learn from their mistakes, ultimately leading to significant improvements in the latter part of the season.
