Gasly earned eighth at Canada, keeping Alpine’s season uplift alive while car troubles linger.

The Frenchman complained of a low‑speed traction drop that has haunted him since Miami, forcing Alpine to tweak the A526’s setup and even test older floor parts.

Alpine’s upgrades helped teammate Colapinto climb the grid, yet Gasly’s balance problems persisted, prompting a data‑driven investigation at Enstone.

Despite a shaky sprint, Alpine’s steady work produced a points finish, proving the team can manage setbacks while hunting performance gaps.
