Pierre Gasly: Not the best day for us

      Both Alpine drivers were involved in start-line incidents and scored no points in Las Vegas…

      Pierre Gasly (15th): "For me the race was effectively over a few hundred metres after the start. It's a real shame we couldn't show our potential. Bortolotto was too optimistic on the entry to turn one, he collided with Stroll, who spun me around, damaging the rear of my car.

      Not the best day for us, it's a pity we couldn't score points for the team – the car had been quick all weekend, it would be interesting to see what results we could have achieved. We were quick on both the wet and the dry track, I was confident I could score points.

      Now we'll focus on Qatar, where the conditions will be completely different to Vegas. There are still two races left, we'll fight to the end."

      Franco Colapinto (17th): "A rear hit at the start from Albon caused damage to the floor and diffuser, the car lost some downforce and handled much worse than in previous sessions. The balance changed, the rear tyres lacked grip, the car was sliding. It's a shame that happened. I was ready to give 100%, but sometimes in races events occur that you can't control.

      Now we'll prepare for the next round hoping that things go better in Qatar and Abu Dhabi."
