After a very promising test day, Wednesday turned out to be a mixed bag for Alpine. Reliability is no longer a concern at the French outfit and both A424s secured their spots in the Hyperpole 1 session after the first round of qualifying. However, behind the scenes, some head-scratching is going on.
When the LMDh prototype hit the track again early Wednesday afternoon, both driver crews were surprised not to find the same performance level they had shown just three days earlier.
