I guess hiring the guy Alpine fired because of this exact reason played out more or less as one would expect.

This is so weird.. you'd think they'd know that this might be a weakness of his concepts

I've read several articles on this and none of them are clear on if they attempted a test and failed or simply have not attempted a test yet? Does anyone know? Very different situations.

Well, these things are not public information, butI think there are FIA-mandated deadlines on when these crash tests have to be done?
