[Saba Sports News] Pierre Gasly dismissed the rumors that Valtteri Bottas would join Alpine, calling them “nonsense.” Currently, Alpine is at the bottom of the team standings, while Gasly has taken all the points for the team so far this season. Jack Doohan and Franco Colapinto have struggled in the second seat at Alpine, leading to speculation that Bottas might join Alpine. This month, there were even rumors that Alpine intended to sign Bottas mid-season to set a “benchmark” for the team. Gasly said that competition among mid-field teams is very intense, and we have always been at a disadvantage. Therefore, there will always be noise, especially considering the events earlier this year, but we should focus on what comes next. It will be a long season, we don’t have upgrades, and our car isn’t in its best condition, but everyone needs to focus on their own tasks and do their best.
