Another red flag for Alpine, but Gasly finds progress with the new car | OneFootball

Alpine once again faced issues during the Bahrain tests, where the A526 caused a new red flag. However, Pierre Gasly ended the day with the seventh fastest time and expressed optimism about the car's development.

The Frenchman completed nearly 100 laps and was just over two seconds behind Charles Leclerc, the fastest of the day with Ferrari. During the session, the team detected some data that didn't convince them and decided to stop the car as a precaution.

“It was a good day. We completed almost 100 laps and I am satisfied with the direction we are taking. It's better to be cautious at this stage with a new car,” Gasly explained.

The driver highlighted the team's work on track and the learning process with the new systems. “My feeling with the car is that it improves day by day; we've made a good step forward since Barcelona,” he stated.

The problems are not new for the team: on Wednesday, Franco Colapinto's car had also caused a red flag. The activity in Bahrain will continue this Friday, with the Argentine at the wheel in both sessions.
