Gasly admits Alpine are 'just too slow' after tough Hungarian GP

Alpine endured a challenging Hungarian Grand Prix, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto finishing a disappointing 19th and 18th respectively. Gasly candidly admitted the team is "just too slow" in conventional race conditions, a stark contrast to their recent points finishes. His race was further hampered by a 10-second penalty for a collision with Carlos Sainz. Despite out-qualifying his teammate and making Q2, Colapinto's race was compromised by slow pit stops and difficulties with grip and DRS trains. Both drivers highlighted the team's struggles, with Gasly noting the race exposed Alpine's "weak spots" after two weekends where they maximized unusual conditions.
