It’s obvious our position in the standings is not worthy of the resources we spend, and we are quite far – in fact very far – from this year’s end goal.“I’m noting not only an obvious lack of performance and rigour in the delivery, but also potentially a state of mind that is not up to this team’s past standards.”Things got off to a nightmare start during the season opener when Esteban Ocon was handed three separate penalties.“I did not like the first Grand Prix, because there was a lot of – I’m sorry for saying this – amateurishness, which led to a result that wasn’t right. It was mediocre, bad,” he said.“And the last race in Baku was tremendously similar to the one in Bahrain. That is not acceptable.”Pierre Gasly, who joined Alpine this season, produced his best qualifying display finishing fifth fastest for the race, narrowly ahead of Ocon in eighth.The team will be out to put more points on the board and prove they’re a leader among the midfield teams.11pm (AEST) – Grid order for Miami Grand Prix1.
