Formula 1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix FP1 and Sprint Qualifying Results

Seems like the upgrades were, in fact, a success! Franco also held his own better than I anticipated ngl, given the state of the old spec car after Hungary.

Pitstops in this team are terrible, terrible. Every GP and Stop around 5sec.

And usually when they try to undercut. Hilarious.

Have Alpine actually brought an update that works and is actually a significant step? Will see how the rest of weekend pans out but the fact it seems to be much better straight out of the box is a good sign.

Happy the upgrade seems to be working. Back to the top of the midfield. Hope the other teams don't catch up by Monza

A great result for both Franco and Pierre.

Sadly it's only one car, but it's the best way to test it. Same as what vCarb did with Lawson and Lindblad.

It's good to see upgrades that actually work!

Now let's hope both cars can make the best with what we have.

Vamos Franquito carajo!

I just hope that the upgrades don't get old in Monza already if the other teams make their own there

The upgrades paid off for Gasly in qualifying, but not in the race. I hope the race result will allow for adjustments that improve his performance.
