Gasly: The goal is to reach the qualifying final and score points in the race.

      On Friday, Pierre Gasly achieved the best result for Alpine in Spielberg, while Franco Colapinto faced issues…

      Pierre Gasly (11th): "The hot weather made life difficult for the drivers and the cars, despite us using a cooling vest. We brought some new items and gathered information on Friday. Thanks to our staff in Enstone and at the track for the timely preparation of new solutions; now we have enough data to work with to understand how well everything is working and in which direction to move forward. We need to work overnight, but I am confident that we will manage, considering our tendency to improve results between Friday and Saturday. I think we can break into the top ten along with our usual competitors. Our goal is to reach the qualifying final on Saturday and score points on Sunday."

      Franco Colapinto (16th): "The first day in Austria was challenging – we had issues with the car in the hot weather. The first practice went well; we tested new parts and conducted several comparisons. The car behaved strangely, and adjustments had to be made between sessions, but everything changed for the worse – we need to look at the telemetry and find the cause. We know where we need to improve, and we will work all night to make the most of the car's potential on Saturday. I am confident that we will achieve more tomorrow."
