Haas

Add that to this year's performance, and instead of being the fifth quickest car on average, as they are now, they would be eighth fastest, ahead of only Haas and Sauber.

Gasly's seventh secured the first points for Alpine this season, while Esteban Ocon drove an outstanding race in the Haas to take eighth after a heavy crash in qualifying left him 15th on the grid.

The second Haas of Oliver Bearman took 10th for the second race running, the two cars sandwiching the Red Bull of Yuki Tsunoda.

The Mercedes drivers were penalised because the team released them too early to the end of the pit lane after a red-flag stoppage in the second session for a crash involving Haas driver Esteban Ocon.

Briton Oliver Bearman was ninth fastest in the Haas ahead of Williams' Carlos Sainz.
