So guys, might sound far fetched, but given this car chassis has looked to be performing really nicely this season, with power not important at Monaco and more driveability, could Alpine go and grab a surprise result do we think?
I wouldn't bet my money on it; the front of the field is so competitive that a podium appearance will come purely down to luck. I am, however, curious to see how Franco performs in his maiden Monaco GP. He's been back in a new car for one race.

The past two years, Monaco was the best track for Alpine in the early part of the season (first podium 2023, first Q3 2024).

Agree with both points - I think this is a good Alpine track however the caveat is just how closely contested the field is in quali.

I think COL have got more potential than DOO

But also not cool to not give at least a full season to DOO
I like the kid, but he’s been the slowest, or second slowest driver in every session since Monaco FP1. Even in Imola he was 5-7/10ths slower than Gasly in most sessions.

Jack was at least close to or occasionally faster than Pierre fairly consistently. His main issue was his two crashes and some bad luck in qualifying. Jacks qualifying gap averaged 3/10ths, Franco’s is 6/10ths so far.

Ps, this was written before Barcelona FP3.
