Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly are preparing to experience a difficult season with Alpine. The blue-white-red single-seater is condemned to play for places of honor this year.

The two French drivers took 17th and 18th places in qualifying this Friday, March 8, a little better than seven days earlier (19th and 20th) but still far from their ambitions. The second Formula 1 Grand Prix of the year takes place in Saudi Arabia on March 8.
