Gasly: Alpine “expected” to be knocked out in Q1 in F1 Italian GP qualifying
Gasly and his teammate Ocon struggled in Saturday’s session at Monza, with Gasly finishing 17th and Ocon finishing 18th by just 0.003s behind. Gasly admitted that the car wasn’t fast enough on the straights, and it was expected to be a difficult weekend. Gasly found the hard tire to be the worst for their car’s performance, and they will need to analyze and come up with better solutions for next year. Gasly emphasized that the speed was the main issue and not the Alternative Tyre Allocation rules. Ocon was surprised by their performance and hoped to at least make it to Q2, but acknowledged that many cars were quicker than theirs. They will continue to investigate why they struggled and search for answers.
