Fire and crash for Gasly deepen Alpine’s slump in F1

The French team with two French drivers is falling short of lofty ambitions. Alpine was fourth in the constructors’ standings last season and has a long-term goal of fighting for regular podium finishes against the top teams by the end of next season.
