Pierre Gasly at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix

Pierre Gasly's 2025 Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Park Zandvoort saw him finish 17th, a challenging outcome for Alpine after starting 14th on the grid. The French driver completed all 72 laps of the race, crossing the line with a total time of 1:38:53.478. Despite a full race distance, Gasly was unable to convert his starting position into championship points, reflecting a demanding weekend for the Alpine F1 Team. His teammate, Franco Colapinto, fared comparatively better, securing an 11th place finish, just outside the points, and demonstrating a notable performance delta within the team. The Zandvoort circuit proved to be a test of endurance and car performance, with several notable incidents throughout the field, including a retirement for [Lando Norris at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix](/results/2025-jeddah-lando-norris) (who also retired at Zandvoort due to a chassis issue) and a collision for [Charles Leclerc at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix](/results/2025-jeddah-charles-leclerc), underscoring the unforgiving nature of the track.

Gasly's fastest lap of 1:15.248, set on lap 59, ranked 19th overall, indicating that the Alpine A525 lacked the outright pace to contend higher up the order. This contrasted sharply with Colapinto's fastest lap of 1:13.049, which was the 4th quickest of the race, highlighting a significant performance disparity between the two Alpine entries.

While Gasly completed the race, the lack of competitive pace meant a consistent struggle to advance through the midfield.
