A stunning record achieved by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly is being questioned.
The Alpine driver was credited as becoming the first-ever F1 driver to record $0 crash daꦜmage over a wholeಌ season.
Gasly proudly mentioned that he had cost his team absolutely ﷺnothing in damage costs after the season-ending F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“There were three targets,” he explained. “Sixth in the constructors’, 10th in the drivers’, and keep my nose clean so we’re still on $0 dama🍌ge.
“We completed all the targets.”
The social med💧ia post below shows the estimated cost of damage from each driver, three races before the end of the season. Gasly insists he retained his $0.

Doubt about Pierre Gasly $0 damage
However, eagle-eyed Formula 1 fans ꩵhave pointed to a🀅 series of incidents involving Gasly over the season.
Gasly and his Alpine teammate Esteban Ocon ma𝔉de contact at the F1 Japanese Grand P𒁏rix.
“He touched me and took the whole left side of my floor off the car,” Gasly said 🌺at the time.
Gasly was also left fuming when Ocon ended up on top of him, on the first lap of the F1 Monaco Grand 🐭Prix.
“I’m just glad we managed to get o𒁃ut of it with only some front wing damage and a couple of things,” Gasly said after the race.
“Luckily with the red🍌 f♕lag we managed to repair it.”
Gasly also had to retire from꧋ the F1 Las Vega💦s GP when his engine broke.
He retired from three races in total, all due to 🌠mechanical problems.
So why was Gasly’s crash damage $0?
After those three incidents, fans were left questioning hoℱw Gasly’s $0 crash damage was calculated.
He admitted damage aft🍌er at least onꦺe of those incidents, in Monaco. And conceded that his floor was impacted in Japan.
The discrepancy might lie in what cra✅sh damage is attributed to a ꦜdriver.
For example,🧔 the three incidents listed were either racing incidents or blamed on a rival driver. So⛦, they weren’t Gasly’s fault.
It could be that this detail means any damage to ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhis Alpine was not listed as his responsibility.
Mechanical faults, f꧅or example, surely will have cost money to repair. But they weren’t caused by Gasly.
Pierre Gasly shines in 2024
The French driver impressed this season regardless of the stat which has ⛎caused de𒆙bate.
He secure𒆙d nine points finishes and even one unexpected podium in Brazil, on Alpine’s finest day.
Gasly beat tﷺeammate Ocon by 18 points to finish 10th in the drivers’ standings, helping Alpine to sixth in the constructors’.
Next year Ocon will move to Haas, and Gasly wi☂ll be paired at Alpine with rookie Jack Doohan.
