The coverage

How far to trust it
PlanetF1 is a lower-tier outlet - quick to publish, and the tier most likely to overstate a claim. We rate every outlet we track on how often it reports a story first and how often it holds up.
Who else has it
PlanetF1 is the only outlet we track carrying this. Nobody else has picked it up yet, so there is nothing to corroborate it against.

How bad is it really?

Alpine have scored 4 points across the last 3 rounds, down from 22 in the 3 before.

Their car ranks 7th of 11 on qualifying pace.

Best finish in that run: 9th.
