Alpine’s “experience” has been credited for their exemplary result at last w✨eek’s F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

A chaotic round in Brazil concluded with a double podium for A🤡lpine duo Esteban Oc🉐on and Pierre Gasly.

It was an unexpected but ꧒brilliant 𓆏result for Alpine who have been forced to battle through some challenging days in their Formula 1 journey recently.

“Extraordinary, absolu𓃲tely extraordinary,” Mark Webber reacted t♔o Channel 4.

“When you are having such a long season in that mid-pac😼k - Haas, the sister Red Bull team, Aston Martin - when these big days come along, and you get the big catch in, you make such a big di🅘fference to the championship positions.

“They are up into sixth from absolutely nowhere.

“Their two experienced, old, wise ꦺ✱heads - that’s very interesting. They got the job done.

“The car looked comfortable for them🐲, [the team] got their calls right.

“Operationally experien🥀ced - that was important. Sporting regulations, those things are important.”

Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes said: “What a way to end the triple-header with a double podium for the team. Even more so after the early alarm call after the ♑rain delay!

“Both drivers were faultle🐲ss in difficult conditions, not putting a wheel wrong all day.

“On top of the points in the Sprint race yesterday, it’s been a great weekend for the whole team in all conditions and a real credit to everyone across Enstone and Viry for their hard work these past two months to bring performance to the 🤡track.

“This gives us some momentum that we ༺must use to finish the season strongly.”

Impressively, Alpine now sit behind only McLaren,♍ Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and Aston Martin in the constructors’ championship.

The arrival of Flavio Briatore - after a ye🐠ar of their upper management being significantly altered - represented a𝔉 major change this season.

They are also set to engine their own engine programme and are expected to link up with Mer🤪cedes for 2026 when the new regulations kick in.

In 2025 Alpine will welcome Jack Doohan for his ro🍰o🐽kie season in place of Haas-bound Ocon.
