The Story in 60 Seconds

Pierre Gasly failed to score points at the Singapore Grand Prix due to severe handling and traction issues with his Alpine car. Despite starting seventh on the grid, the Frenchman suffered a poor launch off the line and endured heavy tire degradation, which left him vulnerable in low-speed corners and caused him to slide on throttle.

Gasly ultimately dropped out of the top ten late in the race after being overtaken by George Russell and Isack Hadjar. Compounded by teammate Franco Colapinto retiring with a driveline issue, Alpine finished without points for a third consecutive race, leaving them 32 points behind Racing Bulls.
