Although these two obstructions did not deduct points from Gasly's Super License, he was penalized by the FIA with a six-place grid drop.
He was directly penalized to start from 12th place.
The reason for the six-place penalty is because blocking one driver during qualifying incurs a three-place grid drop, and he blocked two people.
Zhou Guanyu also missed the opportunity this round; if his Q2 qualifying time were 0.1 seconds faster, he could have started from 11th place in tomorrow's main race.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the Alfa Romeo car has no competitive edge, so achieving this result is already Zhou Guanyu giving his best.
As for why Stroll is ahead of Alonso...
Brother Tou's car's floor was damaged at T2, and it was only repaired right before the start of the final lap in Q3, making it extremely tight to catch the last flying lap.
Being faster than Piastri was already an unexpected delight for Aston Martin.
