Gasly consistency sparking Alpine betting boost

Pierre Gasly has delivered a remarkable start to the 2026 season, scoring points in each of the first three races, a first for his career. After Alpine's shift to Mercedes power, Gasly has already secured 15 points, significantly outpacing his total from the previous season. Despite a slow start in Australia, Gasly showed consistent progress with a sixth-place finish in China and seventh place in both qualifying and the race at Suzuka. His ability to hold off four-time champion Max Verstappen in Japan highlighted both his own form and the improved competitiveness of the Alpine car. As the midfield battle intensifies, Gasly remains a driver to watch, particularly for top-six finishes. With a strong track record at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, including two podiums, he remains a key figure in the current midfield landscape.
