Formula 1 | Alpine, Ocon still in the points: “Satisfied with this weekend”

from Barcelona, ​​Spain

Good result forAlpine, which scored points with both cars at Montmelò. Or with, starting from sixth position he finished in eighth, while gasly he arrived just as he had started from the starting blocks, i.e. tenth. Big regret for the ex Red Bull, fourth yesterday but penalized twice for impeding, and after a start that was anything but exciting and which even saw him in fifteenth place after the first corners, he managed to climb back up to the top ten, but with the pace he demonstrated he could certainly have conquered a better result.

“We leave Barcelona with both cars in the points, so we can be satisfied with this weekend – Ocon said. I don't think we could have done better than eighth place, and our race pace was perhaps a little lacking compared to our rivals who finished ahead. We'll take a look to see how we can improve, but overall it was good. We can be proud of what we have achieved in the last two weeks, but we are aware of the work we need to do to make further progress."

“It's frustrating to start so far behind after yesterday's good qualifying – Gasly said. The race pace was there, I could fight for the top six places. Unfortunately the penalties and the bad start had a big impact on my result, and we will all review what we did together to understand what to improve next time. The car has been performing well lately and we have to keep fighting to achieve even more. Now finally some free time before the trip to Canada in two weeks."
