We are proud to be an official partner of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN that this year reached the promised land as it clinched sixth place in the constructors’ championship. A successful season came to an end in a race that yielded no points, but in which every team effort was directed in securing the team’s season target.
55 points are the team’s final tally, one that secures the team’s best standings position in a decade. It is a result that is testament to the efforts of everyone in the company, trackside and in Hinwil.
Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal: “Finishing in P6 in the championship surpasses our expectations and the targets we had set at the beginning of the season, so we can thoroughly say that this season was a success: I am proud of what we have achieved.”
Zhou Guanyu (car number 24): “I am so proud of this team, for the whole season. We gave everything in the race and, despite not scoring points, we achieved our target, which was finishing P6 in the Championship.It’s been an amazing rookie season, we started high and it’s good to see we finished on a high as well. I really enjoyed my first Formula One season, with all the support from my team, my teammate Valtteri, and all the fans.”
Valtteri Bottas (car number 77): “I am really pleased for the team, it’s an important result and you can see what it means for everyone of us. It was close, very close in our battle for sixth in the championship, but we did it and I am proud of everyone tonight. I am proud of how the team came a long way since winter testing: we scored a lot of points at the beginning of the year and those results made all the difference at the end of the season.”
