The size of their tank, despite the improvements before Le Mans last year is limited by Alpine not the rules. (I assume this is still the case). So I don’t relate the stint length verses the speed as a balancing type thing. That’s not he intent of this rule set.
Difficult to know what stint they could do if they did have the tank size they are allowed.
However, it does appear that it is a little too slow. Especially as they were fast at Sebring. Did the changes really make that much difference?
