Speaking after the race, Gasly said: “Yesterday the pace in the dry was good, I finished seventh. This morning we had a very poor quali, a couple of incidents, we didn’t get a lap in Q2 so we started far and managed to make 10 positions.
“I’m absolutely buzzing right now! I’m just so proud of the team. To overcome such a tough season… it would have been too easy to give up but we never gave up and here we are. Both cars P2 and P3, a lot of points for the team and everyone should be very proud today.

“It’s incredible for the whole team. We had such a tough season, we’ve struggled to score points. In these conditions everything was possible. No one believed it until the end – two cars on the podium, I don’t think anyone would have got that on their bingo card ahead of this season. It’s just fantastic.”
Before this race, Alpine found themselves ninth in the constructors’ standings with just 16 points but their mighty result at Interlagos has propelled them up to sixth, ahead of typically stronger midfield teams like Haas and RB.
