Alpine driver Pierre Gasly claimed his maiden Formula 1 pole position at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, six years after his debut victory at the same circuit.
The 30-year-old driver led the timesheets in Q1 and maintained his pace through the final qualifying segment, supported by team-mate Franco Colapinto and recent car upgrades.
Alpine Managing Director Steve Nielsen confirmed the team's ambition to win the race on Sunday, citing the car's strong performance and effective use of tows during the qualifying session.
