Mariano Angarolla considered that the weekend had been Franco's worst in Alpine in terms of car reliability, but he said that it should not be dramatized because the team had been among the most reliable—or perhaps the most reliable—despite the problems that still needed to be resolved. He added that Franco had been the driver with the fewest retirements, partly due to that reliability, and maintained that Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull had suffered numerous problems several times during the year, while this had been the first for Franco's car. Separately, he noted that Alpine needed to improve their pace and setup, which, he said, had shown ups and downs depending on the circuit. #F1 #Alpine #Fiabilidad (translated)

Mariano Angarolla wrote that Franco had difficulties since Friday in Singapore, when he struggled during the only practice session. According to Angarolla, the rain and power issues prevented him from completing a lap in the Sprint, in which he retired. He then qualified 16th, behind Gasly, the Racing Bulls, the Audis, and the Haases. Angarolla stated that this result did not reflect the position he could achieve with Alpine and added that Franco had never had the car. #F1 #Singapur #Alpine (translated)
