The struggles at Monza were evident as both Gasly and Ocon failed to progress beyond Q1 in qualifying. Their difficulties persisted during the race, particularly in terms of straight-line speed, a critical factor on a circuit where around 80% of the lap is spent at full throttle.
As Alpine lost further ground to McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship, attention now shifts to the French team’s efforts to turn the situation around. Gasly provided a glimmer of hope, mentioning that Alpine has upcoming upgrades in the pipeline.
