Vasseur: Alfa Romeo saved by 'revolution' in F1 mindset
Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur says that Alfa Romeo was at risk of shutting down last season, if not for the emergency cost-saving measures introduced by Formula 1 in response to the coronavirus epidemic. Vasseur said that if the teams hadn't reached agreement on pushing back new regulations, retaining the current cars for 2021 and limiting development work then it might have forced the former Sauber team out of the sport. "We were in a such a tough situation that we had to," he told Motorsport.com. "Thankfully that did happen, because I'm not sure that we would have been able to survive."
