168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly has set an ambitious target for Alpine to finish inside the top-five of the F1 constructors’ championship in 2025.

The Frenchman believes the aim is ”achievable” for Alpiꩵne, who largely endured a difficult 2024 campaign. After a dreadful start and having one of the slowest cars on the grid, the team did make encouraging progress towards the end of the season.

Alpine had sat ninth in the standings for much of the year but a surprise double pod🐓ium at a wet andꦿ chaotic Sao Paulo Grand Prix boosted the French outfit up to sixth, which they held onto.

"I'll go with a top fiℱve in the constructors', because that's what I want and I think that's definitely achievable," Gasly stated with confidence at the Autosport Awar🐟ds.

"Obviously deep inside me I'd like more than that, but I've got to be objective and know that it's going to be a tight field, a competitive field, and I don't 𓆉expect massive chang🦄e compared to last year.”

Just how ‘achievable’ is it?

Alpine ended last term on 6ꦦ5 points, just seven points clear of nearest rivals Haas and 29 behind Aston Martin, who finished a distant fifth.

Based on how the season concluded from a competitive standpoint, fifth place is certainly within rea𓃲ch if Alpine can string together a more consistent 2025 campaign.

Finishing ahead of one🍃 of McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes, however, is extremely unlikely.

Mercedes endedꦰ last year 🌳with four victories and 468 points with a huge 374-point gap back to Aston Martin.

For now, F1’s ‘top-four’ feels unbreachable.

P5 could be possible if Aston Martin fail to make significant gains but much will depend on the performance of Gasly’s teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Doohan.

Gasly scored 42 of Alpine’s 65 points last season, with former teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon bringing home 23.

Ocon has now joined Haas alongside highly-rated F1 rookie168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Oliver Bearman.

Haas looked on co🙈urse to claim P6 in the constructors’ championship before Alpine’s late surge last year.

With Gasly and Ocon both likely to regularly feature inside the top-10, a lot♏ will hinge on how their respective rookie teammates fare.

And for Alpine to sneak ahead of Aston Martin, they will need168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lance Stroll to continue to underperform alongside two-time world champion168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Fernando Alonso, who once again did much of the heavy lifting for the team in 20♋24.
