They went out: We have the speed to fight Williams.

      After five races of the season, Alpine has only earned six points and finished last in the Constructors' Championship. Nevertheless, at the FIA press conference in Miami, Pierre Gasly looked confident and said that the speed of the A525 car makes it possible to fight with Williams.

      Pierre Gasly: "It's been an extremely tight fight in the middle of the peloton this season. The difference of three tenths of a second determines whether you will reach the finals or stop fighting in the first session. It's difficult to fight in such a situation, but in the previous two stages we managed to put all the components together, whereas in the first three races the team was very unlucky.

      I feel like we have the speed to fight Williams. Racing Bulls are also very competitive at times, just like Haas. We need to constantly get the most out of the car. I am sure that then we will be able to fight for the points.

      Miami has a sprint weekend, which makes the outcome even more unpredictable. We'll probably have to make some compromises over the course of the weekend, but I'm sure we'll see different tire strategies during the race. Saturday's sprint will give you a clearer picture of what to expect in the race."
