Alfa Romeo must "improve on every single topic"

Alfa Romeo team principal Fred Vasseur has insisted "every single team member could do a better job" after scoring only three points in the first half of the year.

Despite a promising start to the season where both Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi were threatening the top 10, bad luck stopped points from being scored.

Giovinazzi has one point to his name and Raikkonen two but the pace from the early stages of the campaign has dwindled, with the Finn especially struggling in qualifying.

With Williams scoring points with both cars in Hungary, Alfa Romeo finds itself ninth in the constructors' championship and Vasseur told GPFans Global that it isn't just the drivers that need to improve their form.

"Every single team member could do a better job," said Vasseur.

"That is the purpose of my business, to try to get the best from everybody and to try to give the room for personal improvement, including the drivers.

"For sure, it's clear that Antonio is doing a good job in quali, better than Kimi so far, and I would say that it's not completely the opposite, but roughly the opposite for the race.

"We could expect to change the situation a little bit for Kimi, to help him do a better job in quali, to do a better race with him, with tyre management, race management.

"For sure we have to improve on every single topic. The good mobility of a racing team is to be focused on our own job individually and to be convinced that we can do a better job tomorrow than today.

"If you have this kind of mentality from the bottom to the top and the top to the bottom, it has to be the approach of the 500 people, including the drivers."
