Alfa Romeo is off to a good start in 2022. New acquisition Valtteri Bottas scored points in three of the first four Grands Prix and rookie Guanyu Zhou is also showing his potential. Team boss Frederic Vasseur prefers not to set targets for the current season.

A sixth, eighth, fifth and a seventh place in the sprint race of Imola Bottas already managed to score with his new team in 2022. Add to that a tenth place from Zhou and Alfa Romeo's point total already stands at 25. More than the team scored in 2020 and 2021 combined. Despite the strong start to the new season, Vasseur does not want to set any goals yet.

Updates in Spain

Vasseur says that his main focus is on the team and that the next updates to the C41 are expected as early as Spain. "We have to do a proper job, be focused on ourselves, and then we’ll see where the others are," says the French team boss in conversation with RACER.com.

"But I don’t want to fix the target to be P3, P5 or P7. Let’s do a good job and then we will see at the end of the season," says Vasseur. The team boss says he hopes the team can keep the momentum going. In any case, the atmosphere at the team is good and according to Vasseur, this is largely due to the good results the team is achieving.
