Pierre Gasly: By Saturday, we will find a way to improve.

      Both Alpine drivers were eliminated in the second part of the sprint qualifying...

      Pierre Gasly (11th): "Eleventh place is not the result we are aiming for, but it reflects our current form – we are close to the top ten, but not fast enough to get there. I would say that for today, 11th place is a decent result considering how we started the day. The morning practice was not easy. In the sprint qualifying, the car behaved differently and much more predictably – we need to understand what caused these changes. I completed my qualifying attempts cleanly, the car behaved well, and I felt confident. The competitors from Racing Bulls are very fast here, and we need to find a way to improve to challenge them. But the weekend has just begun; by Saturday, we will find a way to gain some speed. I have a few ideas on how to achieve more – we will try to implement them tomorrow."

      Franco Colapinto (14th): "I am a bit disappointed with the sprint qualifying result. Given the car's behavior in the morning session, I expected more. We started the day well, but we knew we had to improve to maximize the car's potential. We made some changes, but it didn't yield results and made the car's behavior unpredictable. That's the essence of a weekend with a sprint – you try and test different solutions in competitive sessions. So far, we haven't managed to set up the car to feel confident in the high-speed sections, of which there are many in Silverstone. In the evening, we need to understand what needs to be changed to restore a good feeling with the car. We will try to gather as much information as possible in the sprint to make adjustments before Saturday's qualifying."
