As in Bahrain the previous week, both Alpine were eliminated in Q2 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Pierre Gasly for its part set the 18th time this Friday evening. Here is his reaction to the Canal+ microphone.
“We had a good first run. But on the second, from the first turn I slipped a lot from the rear. Then, at the second turn too. On the fourth, I took a huge snap. I don't know what happened. It was really weird.
In terms of performance, we are where we expected to be. We are still too far from Q2.
Everyone is trying to find solutions, but we cannot provide them in such a short time. For now, we'll have to do the best we can with the car we have. We will give everything and see what is possible to do tomorrow (Saturday).
We are all very aware of the situation we are in. No one is happy to see us this far, Luca di Meo (General Director of Renault. Editor’s note) the first. I know he works a lot and tries to find solutions and make the necessary changes in the team.
I don't want to have the same speech every weekend, but we'll have to be patient. It takes a little time, you have to be patient for a few weeks and in the meantime, try to learn as much as possible about this car and get the most out of it. »

It's so sad to see this pure talent struggling in a team of broken hands who are happy with themselves. the season is going to be long and it will be difficult to get noticed to get a good shuttle, at least worse won't be possible
