They say that the issue of accidents can be key in the evolution of cars. They say it because of the budget limit, because having money to work on a car is not the same as spending practically everything to fix it. If this is so, Alpine He already has a big problem and not even four races have passed…
Because Alpine has to his ‘sheet metal and painting’ department working to the maximum in this start of the World Cup. they are like this because Pierre Gasly, the driver who took over from Fernando Alonso at the mark is having certain ‘problems’ getting the car safe and sound at the end of each session.
In Australia, maybe because of him, by Ocon, For both of them or for the situation that arose in the relaunch, he destroyed one. They destroyed two in fact, because Esteban’s also was completely disabled. And now, in Baku, more of the same.

Locked up tires, and bye-bye Alpine. It was Q1, one more than moved because it was already the second red flag in just ten minutes. The first, by Nick de Vries. The reason, the same as Gasly’s.
More expenses for Alpine
They will both take the start from the positions below the grid, but the worst news for Alpine Who knows how much the repairs cost in what is Gasly’s second accident in just four races.
