Summary
Pierre Gasly put Alpine on pole at Monza on Saturday, prompting Jeremy Clarkson to promise the entire team a Hawkstone beer if the Frenchman converts it into an Italian Grand Prix victory.
Clarkson made the offer in a post on X, calling Alpine his local "Chipping Norton team" because his Diddly Squat Farm sits near the squad's Enstone base.
The pledge echoes Monaco 2023, when Clarkson promised Alpine a pint for an Esteban Ocon podium and later delivered 1,000 bottles of Hawkstone beer to the factory by Lamborghini tractor.
Gasly said the lap was especially meaningful after 9 years in F1, adding that Monza is already a special circuit for him because he took his first grand prix win there in 2020.
