Speaking about the circuit in a team preview, Gasly said:
The AlphaTauri Frenchman feels the Spring Race on Saturday will make Qualifying very important, and will therefore be critical to nailing the session.
Gasly had qualified fourth on the Imola circuit in 2020 but retired from the race. However, in 2021, the driver managed a comfortable seventh place finish. The Italian GP winner had a ninth-place finish in Melbourne but will be looking for opportunities to shine in Imola.
Outlining his expectations for the Imola GP, Tsunoda said:
Having raced only once on the Imola circuit, Tsunoda expects to perform better than his past performances where he finished 12th. The team has tested at the circuit and most of the Japanese driver’s preparation has evolved around the iconic Italia circuit. So one can expect more from the AlphaTauri rookie in his second Imola race.
Pierre Gasly confirms AlphaTauri will be bringing updates to their car
Confirming the upgrades being brought by the team to Imola, Gasly believes the team will have to find more performances over the next few weekends to match their competitors. While AT03 is being upgraded at the Imola GP weekend, the AlphaTauri drivers are eager to compete on their home circuit, where the team will have a lot of support.
Speaking to Motorsport Network, the AlphaTauri driver said:
The Faenza-based team is eighth in the Constructor’s standings with ten points in total. However, fifth place is their ideal target and also where they finished in 2021, according to team principal Franz Tost, who spoke to Sportskeeda in Bahrain.
