Gasly recognises that Alpine will have chances this season to score big points, courtesy of a record-breaking calendar.
Pierre Gasly is optimistic about Alpine’s chance of finishing on the podium this season, believing in the possibility of “miracles happening,” as he expressed before the Australian Grand Prix. However, Alpine is currently struggling at the back of the grid due to a disastrous start in the 2024 F1 season. The team took a big risk with a new car concept that has not been successful so far. One major issue for Alpine is the excessive weight of the A524 affecting Gasly’s and Esteban Ocon’s lap performance. Gasly acknowledges their current challenges and doubts replicating last season’s pace. Despite the difficulties, Gasly remains hopeful and determined to seize any opportunity for strong results this season, drawing on his past successes for inspiration.
