Alpine’s “experien🍒ce” has been credited for their exemplary result at last week’s F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

A chaotic round in Brazil concluded with a double podium for Alpine duo Esteban Ocon andꦬ Pierre Gasly.

It was an unexpected but brilliant result for Alpine who have been fo🦂rced to battle through so🌠me challenging days in their Formula 1 journey recently.

“Extraordi🐎nary, absolutely extraordinary,” Mark W♔ebber reacted to Channel 4.

൩“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 along, 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.

“Thei༒r two experienced, old, wise heads - that’s very interesting. They got the job done.

“The car looked comfortableꦇ ♚for them, [the team] got their calls right.

“Operationally experienced - t♏hat was important. Sp💦orting regulations, those things are important.”

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

“Both drivers were faultless inꦿ difficult conditions, no﷽t 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 thei♍r hard work these past two months to bring performance to the track.

“This gives us some momentum that we must use to finish the season✃ strongly.”

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

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

They are also s🌟et to engine 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 Doohan for his rookie season in place of Haas-bound Ocon.
