The Alpine Formula 1 team is working hard to resolve a series of confusing performance issues that are affecting Pierre Gasly’s car.
Despite securing a strong eighth-place finish at the high-attrition Canadian Grand Prix, the result masked deep, underlying problems that have troubled the Frenchman over the past two race weekends.
Gasly revealed that his main struggle centers around low-speed traction, which leaves him lacking confidence and making the car incredibly difficult to drive at its absolute limit.
The team’s data engineers have isolated clear evidence of these balance anomalies, which originally surfaced after Alpine introduced its latest upgrade package at the Miami Grand Prix.
With both cars performing well overall, Alpine is conducting a deep data investigation to fix these traction flaws before heading into the tight, low-speed corners of the next race.
