Pierre Gasly endured the worst finishing position of his full-time Formula 1 career, yet arguably produced his best campaign from a performance point of view. The 29-year-old finished 18th in the standings with just 22 points, yet that can only be put down to the torrid Alpine that he was given as the French outfit slumped to bottom in the constructors’ championship.
Its A525’s main weakness was in the slow, bumpy tracks hence Gasly qualifying last in Singapore, while the situation also wasn’t helped by the Renault power unit which is just weak compared to rival suppliers like Mercedes and Ferrari.
