Oakes is hoping Alpine can make gains in the end-of-season run-in
Oliver Oakes believes Alpine has more performance to show at the end of the current Formula 1 season having been 'out of sync' with development. The French manufacturer has struggled for form all season having endured a wretched opening to the campaign and though fortunes have improved since then, reliability issues have kept Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon to only 13 points and ninth in the constructors' standings.

I hope between now and the end of the year we can at least show we've got some performance to come.
