Pierre Gasly rules out ‘Monza 2.0’ as Alpine target midfield fight in Baku

Pierre Gasly has stated that he does not expect to achieve a pole position at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix similar to his recent success at Monza. While both circuits share some characteristics, Gasly believes that Baku presents unique challenges that differ from those at Monza, particularly with its combination of long straights and tight corners.

Gasly is hopeful that Alpine can compete effectively within the midfield during the race. He highlighted the importance of managing battery usage and the impact of strong winds expected during qualifying, which could affect performance. Despite his confidence, he has ruled out the possibility of a 'Monza 2.0' scenario this weekend.
