Manufacturer's title, 2nd place for drivers, Alpine… The challenges of the last F1 Grand Prix of the season
Alpine, a 6th place to keep
Alpine (59 pts) will also play big during the last race of the season. The French team, which has just dismissed Esteban Ocon in favor of Jack Doohan, has stolen sixth place in the constructor's standings from Haas (54 pts) – for whom Ocon will drive next season – on the side of Doha thanks to the remarkable fifth place of Pierre Gasly, who can still hope to enter the top 10 drivers since he is only one point behind Hülkenberg (Haas), tenth. Five points separate the two teams. Alpine will also have to be wary of the Racing Bulls, who, with 46 units, can still dream of a sixth place. The battle promises to be intense.
