Alpine scores double points in Baku as Fernando finishes seventh and Esteban tenth

BWT Alpine F1 Team departs Baku with seven Constructors’ points after Fernando Alonso finished seventh and Esteban Ocon tenth in an exciting Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The result sees Alpine claw back fifth in the Constructors’ Standings on 47 points. After a routine opening lap around the Baku City circuit, both drivers held their starting positions of tenth and thirteenth. The race truly started to unravel around lap 9 when a Virtual Safety Car was called. Fernando remained out on his Medium tyres and gradually moved up the order after others chose to stop under the Virtual Safety Car. He eventually pitted under normal racing conditions on lap 18 and switched to Hards.

Esteban also remained out on his starting tyres (Hards) and found himself inside the top ten after the Virtual Safety Car. On the fresher rubber, Fernando began to carve his way through the midfield and overtook a number of cars in part thanks to his rapid sector 3 times.

As his teammate climbed the order, Esteban was also kept busy as he defended against a number of cars whilst on the older tyres. He was eventually called in for his mandatory pitstop on lap 33, capitalising on another Virtual Safety Car which enabled him to return in eleventh position.

As normal racing conditions resumed, Fernando found himself seventh and Esteban was tenth.

For the remainder of the 51-lap race both drivers continued to utilise the cars strong sector 3 pace and battled hard inside the top ten. Both McLarens tried their best to catch and overtake Fernando, but his stalwart defence ensured he crossed the line in seventh for the second consecutive race. Esteban meanwhile collected the final point in tenth, ensuring his sixth top ten finish of the season.
