With perfect timing, the Alpine Formula 1 team put in a strong performance in Monaco, the biggest race of the year for the French outfit.
It was a great weekend for the team and a much-needed boost, but Rossi is well aware of the bigger picture.
"Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I doubt we're P3, on the face of it. We're probably going to get back to the natural order next week in Barcelona. I would assume something like anywhere between sixth and 10th. "But yeah, at least the last two races Miami and Monaco have shown the type of behaviour and operational excellence that helped us actually get fifth in 2021, when we had the sixth car, and get fourth last year when we had the fourth car.
"So you thought it was addressed to my team, [but] it was addressed almost equally to the external world as the internal one.
