‘It was painful’ – Gasly and Ocon looking to turn the page after ‘dead slow’ Baku performance

Formula 1

Alpine didn’t just have an Azerbaijan Grand Prix to forget but a whole weekend in which nothing really went right for the team, leaving them with two slightly disgruntled drivers at the flag. Esteban Ocon finished 15th and Pierre Gasly 12th, but it wasn’t just the pace that was the issue in Baku.

Ocon missed out on plenty of running in practice, needing a precautionary power unit change in FP1 before stopping out on track in FP2. He wound up starting from the pit lane after changing more PU components.

Meanwhile, Gasly was disqualified in qualifying for a fuel mass flow breach, leaving him starting from the back of the field for the race.

“We will turn the page, there’s nothing good for us this weekend,” admitted Ocon after the race.
