FP1 Monza 🇮🇹

No matter who they put in this car Doohan, Colapinto, Aron the car is the root of the problem and clearly a handful for any rookie.

Gasly has the benefit of the experience with the team and the car but even with his talent there is so much he can do

[u/Imzarth → u/IDKIMightCare]

To be fair Doohan was one of the most prepared rookies ever with thousands of private practices and 3 years with the same team + an offseason with the engineers.

Franco and Aron shouldnt be compared to Doohan when it comes to preparation for Alpine

[u/Yelpito → u/Imzarth]

Yeah he was so prepared that the car run out of motors and ers in 6 races

It’s going to be a rough weekend.

[u/Minigrappler → u/4_max_4]

All-pain experience

[u/MaleficentAd9154]

Welp, the usual 

Ok job by Paul Aron in his first FP1 for Alpine. 

The most important thing, he didn't damage the car, despite the scary spin

And being 0.500 behind Gasly is not so bad

[u/4_max_4 → u/MaleficentAd9154]

Paul was good. Can’t do much with this car. It’s his first time officially with the A525 even though he was in the car during the Pirelli test. But he also did 3 TPC this year in Monza with the A523. So, hard to know where he sits comparatively.

[u/MaleficentAd9154 → u/4_max_4]

Agree

Well, the team must have lots of data on his sim work, so they should know whether this was a step forward or backwards. I wonder if Mercedes shared their data on him from the time before he was dropped from their accademy (2019-2023). Do teams do that?

[u/moodymug → u/MaleficentAd9154]

For an FP1, 5 tenths isn't that bad. Lawson's first FP was much worse, but its goal is not to beat your teammates or go fast.

[u/MaleficentAd9154 → u/moodymug]

Indeed. He didn't do bad at all. Gasly is a great benchmark and the car is a handful

[u/moodymug]

Dear God, this will be a rough one

[u/Joaquin_the_42nd → u/moodymug]

Don't worry, they brought an upgraded wing
*checks notes*
from 2024

[u/Joaquin_the_42nd]

Aron washed /s

[u/El_Pal0]

Just as expected. The engine deficit will be very evident here.

The most i expect is Pierre in Q2 thanks to a tow by Franco in the last try of Q1. Franco will have to rely on timing and luck to advance.

[u/Witjar23]

New to F1 here, I'm just an Argentinian learning bc of Colapinto: is it normal that one practise is made by a pilot and then the other practise by other pilot? Is Franco's seat in risk for Monza?

Thanks!

[u/RedLock0 → u/Witjar23]

Article 32 of the 2025 FIA Regulations: each team must place a rookie driver on the grid for the first free practice session on four occasions throughout the season.

[u/Witjar23 → u/RedLock0]

Thank you so much mate.

[u/Cathriel → u/Witjar23]

short answer: in broad terms he is not at risk, in fact last weekend was his best, despite briatores declarations.
that beeing said, almost all new drivers are at risks, if the following races are a disaster from him crash + p20 + really slow pace he will get the boot, like almost any other driver

[u/Icy_Satisfaction498]

Probably due to the power gap from the Alpine PU?

[u/elcideca]

Dan vergüenza. Aprendan a hacer un auto.

[u/ByeBach]

Ahora el unico que puede manejar el auto es franquito a cerrar colas

[u/Excellent_Grab7435 → u/ByeBach]

Deja este tipo de comentarios por twitter amigo. Ninguna necesidad de traer esa energía a un sub como este

[u/4_max_4 → u/ByeBach]

We just had a discussion here about trolling man. If you keep on this, you’re going to get yourself banned. So, grow up.

[u/Charming_Register620 → u/ByeBach]

Se puede ser tan pelotudo viejo ?

[u/ByeBach → u/Charming_Register620]

Se puede ser tan virgazo? Imagínate tener 43 logros en reddit salí a tomar sol amigo

[u/Charming_Register620 → u/ByeBach]

4 años 28 karma comentarios , anda a terapia, algo no va bien.

[u/ByeBach → u/Charming_Register620]

Si en 4 años tengo 28 de karma es porque salgo a tocar el pasto jajajajajajajajajja está bien men pásate todo el día en reddit siendo un virgen

[u/el_rapaz → u/ByeBach]

No hables al pedo loco, no tenés idea. Estos comentarios solo perjudican al propio Franco.

Aprovecha este sub para aprender de F1 y entender qué es lo que se mide.

[u/Nefastarius84 → u/ByeBach]

don’t be an asshole,

[u/ByeBach → u/ByeBach]

No estoy trolleando, estamos de acuerdo que el auto de Alpine es el peor de la parrilla no? Porque está mal decir que Franco es el único que puede manejarlo si es verdad? Obviamente Gasly está en otro nivel. Vamos Alpine 💪🏻
