Pierre Gasly learns stewards' verdict over alleged unsafe release at Dutch GP Qualifying

Pierre Gasly, an Alpine driver, has been cleared of any further action following an alleged unsafe release incident during the Dutch GP Qualifying at Zandvoort. The Frenchman, who qualified 11th in the race, released his car directly ahead of Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto during Q1. However, upon review by the stewards, it was determined that the incident was not unsafe and posed no threat to pit lane personnel or either driver.

Alpine has brought a major package to the Dutch GP, with Gasly the sole Alpine driver sporting eight aero updates. His teammate Franco Colapinto will receive the upgrade package next time out at Monza. Meanwhile, Audi's Bortoleto has impressed so far at Zandvoort, qualifying 8th, while teammate Nico Hulkenberg will start outside the points positions after qualifying 13th.
