Six of those points came from the seventh place that he achieved in the Bahrain Grand Prix, the best position obtained by the team so far. In the Sprint races, Gasly added one more point after being eighth in the short classification of Miami, while Doohan finished 16 °, only above Max Verstappen, who was penalized.

In other relevant events, such as the China Grand Prix, Gasly was 12 ° and Doohan, last after receiving a sanction for an incident with Gabriel Bortoleto. As for the Miami classification, the Australian seemed to demonstrate some improvement when passing to the second round with a 14th place, while Gasly was last in that session. However, those signs of progress faded quickly after an incident in the first round of the race, where Doohan collided with Liam Lawson, causing his abandonment.
