Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon clear Q1 qualifying session for the Monaco GP

Alpine’s nightmare season start saw the two drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly fail to score any good results. A majority of the fans lost hope in the French squad after the team failed to produce a good chassis. Regardless, the Monaco GP could be different from the usual race weekends. The fans cheer on as the two drivers clear the Q1 session for the Monte Carlo race.

Gasly scored a lap time good enough to propel him into the top 10 position during the Q1 session. Additionally, Ocon barely missed out on being eliminated after holding the P15 position during the session. Hence, both drivers will try to battle it out in the Q2 session to make it through to Q3.

Alpine might have a great chance to score some good results after witnessing a top squad like Red Bull face multiple issues. Both drivers out-qualified Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso at the Monaco GP qualifying. As a result, the main race will be out of the ordinary and produce some unexpected great results for the drivers on the grid.
