After an abysmal start to the season without points finishes and poor qualifying results seeing them out in Q1, Pierre Gasly and Alpine are making slow steps in the right direction. With Gasly and Ocon qualifying in the top 10 for the first time in 2024 last Saturday, Alpine looked very strong throughout the Spanish…
Haas’ Kevin Magnussen finished the Spanish Grand Prix in a distant 17th, a lap down from winner Max Verstappen.

On top of that, a slow…

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri ended the Spanish Grand Prix in seventh place, two places up from his P9 starting position.
