Alpine🐼’s “exp💙erience” has been credited for their exemplary result at last week’s F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

A chaotic round in Brazil c෴oncluded with a double podium for Alpine duo Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly.

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

“Extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary,” Mark Webber reacted to Cha✤nnel 4.

“When you are having such a long season in that mid-pack - Haas, the sister Red Bull team, Aston Martin - when these big days come a🏅long, and you get the big catch in, you ✤make such a big difference to the championship positions.

“They are up into sixth from absolutely nowhere.

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

“T🐎he car looked comfortable for them, [the team] got their calls right.

“Operationally experienced - thaꩵt was important. Sporting regulations, those things are important.”

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

“Both drivers were faultless 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.

“T🏅his gives us some momentum that we must use to finish the season🐭 strongly.”

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

The arrival of Flavio Briatore - after a year of their upper management being significantly altered - represented a major💯 change this season.

They are also set to engin🔯e their own 🦩engine programme and are expected to link up with Mercedes for 2026 when the new regulations kick in.

In 2025 Alpine will welcome Jack Dooha🔯n for h🐲is rookie season in place of Haas-bound Ocon.
