Alpine F1 may have a long season ahead if the season opener in Bahrain was anything to go by.

Former world champion Alain Prost also shares this sentiment. Prost, who is Alpine’s non-executive director, believes it’ll be necessary for the team to keep the teammate battle from going out of hand.

In a season where every point will be crucial, Prost doesn’t want his drivers to put their own interests

Fans were happy to hear the news that Fernando Alonso was returning to F1 with Alpine for the 2021 season. While he seems to be enjoying his time with the team, he considers his best season in Formula One to be the 2012 season when he was behind the wheel of the Ferrari. He hopes to bring that level of performance in 2021 as well.

Fernando Alonso had an impressive start to his comeback race at Bahrain last weekend. However, he had to retire his Alpine car and could not complete the race. It was tough luck for the Spaniard because a sandwich wrapper in the rear brake duct caused the unfortunate retirement.

Aston Martin, and Sebastian Vettel, in particular, had quite a disappointing race in Bahrain. It was not a weekend for them to remember; they fell drastically short of what was expected of them. The surprising fall in performance was blamed on the new aerodynamic laws that apparently hurt low-raked cars like the Aston Martin a lot more than their high-raked counterparts. However, the team’s ace driver Vettel wasn’t willing to pin the blame on the aforementioned reason.

Considering that Sebastian Vettel is looking to recover from the horror season he had in 2020, he wouldn’t be happy with his debut race with Aston Martin at Bahrain. His terrible race was compounded further when he plowed into the rear of Esteban Ocon, which, at first, he blamed the latter for. Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher was not too impressed with Vettel’s whine over the team radio.

The incident happened on lap 46 of the Bahrain Grand Prix when Ocon passed the German on the straight heading into Turn 1. This resulted in Vettel locking up and colliding into

Alpine has taken a gamble by bringing back Fernando Alonso after his two-year sabbatical from the sport. They were looking for a replacement for the departing Daniel Ricciardo, as he switched to McLaren for the 2021 season.

The French team is hoping the experienced driver can help guide the team through the transition from Renault to Alpine. However, former F1 driver Mark Webber believes that Alpine needs to be very careful with how they deal with Alonso.
