Formula 1 | Alpine, second row for Gasly in Las Vegas

Qualifying with two faces at home Alpine. Pierre Gasly will start from the second row in Las Vegas Grand Prix, also taking advantage of the absurd penalty imposed on Carlos Sainz on Friday. The Frenchman in fact ranked fifth, taking advantage of the excellent top speed demonstrated by the A523 this season and in the first two days in Nevada. It went very badly instead Or with, seventeenth and therefore out in Q1. He too will earn a starting slot, this time for a penalty a Stroll, and tomorrow it will be a comeback race.

"I am very satisfied - Gasly said. Our expectations were much lower than what we got. We managed to disprove the predictions, we hope to be able to do the same tomorrow, starting from fourth position due to Carlos' penalty. The car went very well, I felt comfortable and this is very important, especially on a city track, where feeling good in the car is essential. I pushed to the limit, I did the best laps of my championship. We need to stay focused because it's a new track, the conditions will be cold and difficult, we need to be ready for any eventuality."

“Today's result is difficult to digest, things didn't go the way we wanted – Ocon admitted. It's never easy to get out of Q1, especially with the pace we showed. Looking at the data, we should have been comfortably in Q2, so it's even more frustrating. I found traffic on the first lap, while on the second I had a misunderstanding with Max, and I continued to push anyway, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. There are positive aspects, our car is fast and we can fight for tomorrow."
