Pierre Gasly had a difficult Spanish Grand Prix last weekend as he ran into a challenge he wasn’t quite expecting.
Pierre Gasly had to race the Spanish Grand Prix without access to water due to a malfunction in his drink system. With temperatures soaring in Barcelona, proper hydration is crucial, especially in the heat of the cockpit during races. Gasly’s lack of water intake during the 66-lap race made for a challenging and thirsty afternoon. Despite this setback, Gasly secured an eighth-place finish, adding valuable points for his team. However, Alpine slipped to the bottom of the constructors’ standings after a strong finish from Nico Hulkenberg. Gasly also faced time loss due to blue flags in the race, but he remained content with scoring points and supporting his team after a tough triple-header stretch.
