Remarkable cost-saving record is being doubted

A stunning record achieved by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly is being questioned.
The Alpine driver was credited as becoming the first-ever F1 driver to record $0 crash dam🉐a𒉰ge over a whole season.
Gasly proudly mentioned that he had cost his team absolutely nothing in damage costs after the seaso꧃n-ending F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“There were three targets,” he explained. “Sixth in the constructors’, 10th ♛in the drivers’, and keep my nose clean so we’re still on $0 damage.
“We completed all the targets.”
The social media post below ♒shows the estimated cost of damage from each driver, three races before the end of the season. 𝔉Gasly insists he retained his $0.

Doubt about Pierre Gasly $0 damage
However, eagle-eye🔥d Formula 1 fans have pointed to a series of inciden♕ts involving Gasly over the season.
Gasly and his Alpine teammate Esteban Ocon made contact at the F1 Japanese Gra🅷nd Prix.
“He touched me 🍸and took the whole left sidꦍe of my floor off the car,” Gasly said at the time.
Gasly was also left fuming when Ocon ended up on top of him, on the first lap 💝of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.
“I’m just glad we managed to get out of🌱 it with only some front wing damage and a couple of things🍰,” Gasly said after the race.
“Luckily with the red flag we managed to rep🍰air it.”
Gasly also had to retire from෴🐓 the F1 Las Vegas GP when his engine broke.
He retired from three races in total, al𒆙l due to mechanical pꦅroblems.
So why was Gasly’s crash damage $0?
After those three incidents, fans were left questioning how Gasly’s $0 crash damage wa♑s calculated.
He admitted damage after at least one of those inciden💃ts, in Monaco. And conceded that his floor was impacted in Japan.
The dis🙈crepancy might lie in whaꦅt crash damage is attributed to a driver.
For example, the three incidents l𒐪isted were either racing incidꦛents or blamed on a rival driver. So, they weren’t Gasly’s fault.
It could be that this detail means any damage to his Alpine was not listed as his respons🐟ibility.
Mechanical fꦅaults, for example, surely will 🌊have cost money to repair. But they weren’t caused by Gasly.
Pierre Gasly shines in 2024
The French driver i𝔍mpressed thi🍰s season regardless of the stat which has caused debate.
He secured nine points finishes and ev💛en one unexpected podium in Brazi🧜l, on Alpine’s finest day.
Gasly beat teammate Ocon by 18 points to finish 10th in the drivers’ standings, helping Alpine 🌟to🥂 sixth in the constructors’.
Next year Ocon will move to Haas, and Gas♌ly will be pair🧔ed at Alpine with rookie Jack Doohan.
Doohan got behind the wh🔯eel of his 🐽2025 team’s car at the postseason test.
