Strong double points for Esteban and Fernando as BWT Alpine F1 Team score season best result

BWT Alpine F1 Team scored a season best ten points from today’s Canadian Grand Prix with Esteban Ocon finishing sixth and Fernando Alonso closely behind in seventh at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. A post-race penalty for Fernando added five seconds to his race time, meaning the Spaniard ended in ninth place.

Starting from second place on the grid – his best qualifying effort in ten years – Fernando nursed a suspected air leak on his car to claim two points with Esteban playing the team game in guiding his team-mate across the line by compensating for the Spaniard’s straight line speed deficit and allowing him DRS in the closing stages.

With ten points scored today, the team remains in fifth place in the Constructors’ Championship, eight points behind McLaren.

Fernando enjoyed a clean start off the line to hold his second-place grid slot on the opening laps with Esteban able to progress a position to sixth. Fernando remained on-track after the first of two Virtual Safety Car (VSC) interventions on lap nine, with the second on lap 19 unfortunately timed as Fernando passed the pit entry and missed an opportunity to stop. Esteban was able to benefit from the second VSC, pitting for Hard tyres.
