🚨 | IMPORTANT: According to @FredericFerret, Alpine is set to redesign the geometry of its rear suspension in 2027.

Alpine could well be producing its own rear suspension and gearbox for 2027.
🚨 | Qualifying/race pace according to the F1 simulator :
Qualifying :
Fifth-fastest team (+0,64 s)
Race:
Fifth-fastest team (+0,87 s)
Nielsen: "With Pierre pretty strong, the car feels good"
"Franco missed FP1 so he's got a bit of catching up to do in terms of pace yeah"
"We may have the edge on RB on high fuel, they look pretty good on low fuel"
Nielsen: “If we look at the day as a whole, I think we can be quite positive and approach the rest of the weekend with confidence.
That said, we’re not going to rest on our laurels. We know we still have work to do and that the margins are extremely tight, especially in terms
... In particular, the pace with a heavy fuel load looked solid, but we know that in qualifying the gaps between the teams are even smaller, so we need to work on extracting absolutely every last bit of performance from a single lap.
Gasly: "Probably one of our best Fridays, very pleased overall.
We are splitting the VCARBS. It's gonna be a tight battle with them.
I got a good feeling with the car. Still a few things to work on, but definitely a good start".
Pierre Gasly after FP2:
"I feel quite comfortable in the car.
That’s good. Very good".
