(Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images) Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur took a swipe at Nicholas Latifi in humor as he discussed the team’s performance ahead of the 2022 Dutch GP. The French team principal believes they’ve had technical and engine failures to add to their woes this season. Humorously describing his team’s performance, Vasseur said: “There’s no such thing as luck or bad luck with DNFs.

There has been speculation of the Swiss team being linked to the German manufacturer in terms of a potential takeover. Commenting on the speculation linking his team to Audi, Vasseur said: “We must not speed up the process too much. At the moment, we are concentrating on the supply of engines.
