Pierre Gasly: Clutch control on the track is our weak point
Alpine F1 drivers finished second practice at Hungaroring...
Pierre Gasly (19th): "A tough day. Controlling the car was challenging, it was constantly sliding, and our weak point was traction. I'm confident we can improve the situation; tonight and tomorrow we will do our best to be in better shape for the next session.
In recent races, we had a similar trend: we didn't show high results in practice but then improved. We're staying optimistic and hope to at least improve today's performance."
Franco Colapinto (20th): "Pierre and I had a tough time. The car has handling issues, and we seriously lack grip on the track. It's one of those days when we just can't find our way, but I hope this experience will help us tomorrow."
