Why Gasly won't be "disappointed’ with P7 from pole for Alpine

Pierre Gasly secured a hard-fought P7 at the Italian Grand Prix, describing it as a strong result despite starting from pole position. While the Alpine A526 struggled with race pace against the top contenders, Gasly was satisfied with his performance and the team's progress. Franco Colapinto had a rollercoaster race, climbing as high as third before an error caused him to drop down the order. Despite the mistake, he fought back to finish in the points at P9, viewing the experience of battling with top drivers as a valuable learning opportunity.
