Pierre Gasly, Alpha Tauri and Alpine F1 machines are “completely different”[F1-Gate.com]

Pierre Gasly admits Alpine F1 Team needs to be vigilant against rivals chasing fourth place in 2023, and believes it may need to keep an eye on Aston Martin in particular.In Bahrain In pre-season testing, many were impressed by the Aston Martin F1, with Fernando Alonso in charge of most of the laps for the team following Lance Stroll’s absence due to a cycling accident.

Pierre Gasly, meanwhile, is getting used to his new environment at the Alpine F1 team after leaving AlphaTauri. The Alpine F1 team wants to move closer to the top three this season, but Pierre Gasly admits Aston Martin and others could threaten fourth place. “I don’t know what will happen, but of course the goal is to focus on the top three,” Gasly told the media, including RacingNews365.com. “I don’t want to look back but I can’t rule out other teams. Aston Martin looked pretty decent in this test. I think there are some other teams that look strong. ‘But the main team I think the big goal is to close the gap to the top three, so if it’s going to be a lonely race, that’s fine.” “It’s clear that we want to close the gap anyway.” Pierre Gasly made his mark at AlphaTauri after driving the Alpine F1 Team’s A523 during three days of F1 pre-season testing. I admit that there are some big differences compared to the previous car. Pierre Gasly has been a Red Bull driver for many years since his F1 debut, but in 2023 he will leave Red Bull and start a new chapter of his career with the Alpine F1 team. “Everything feels completely different,” explained Pierre Gasly, who compared the AlphaTauri and Alpine F1 Team cars. “But at the end of the day, you’re still driving with two pedals and one steering, and you have to find a way to go as fast as possible. “But the car definitely feels different. Braking, turning, mounting. On the other hand, everything is completely different.” “So obviously it takes a few laps to get used to it, but I have to say it was a very good winter and a very good test.” I think it was a great test, that’s a positive thing, we needed it before the season started.”
