Franz Tost: “Pierre Gasly will soon regain his confidence”

Back home Toro Rosso starting from the Italian Grand Prix just over a week ago, Pierre Gasly failed at the points gates on Toro Rosso grounds. A return to business after his demotion from Red Bull Racing for the benefit ofAlexander albon, and a first step towards the goal of convincing Red Bull to give him another chance for 2020.

For Franz Tost, Team Principal of Toro Rosso, beyond pure performance, it is also on the mental level that the Normandy driver must come back to the forefront. “If a driver goes from Red Bull to Toro Rosso, he is shocked, demotivated and loses confidence in himself, specifies the manager on the website of the F1.

The team's job is to help them, support them and put together all the ingredients they need to perform as well as before. Because Red Bull Racing took them when they were performing well with us.

Pierre came to the factory as if it were yesterday. From the beginning there was good cooperation, we trust each other, we support each other, so... I am convinced that he will regain his confidence soon. »

Red Bull Racing had announced that it would use the last nine races of the season to evaluate the performances of Alex Albon, but also indirectly of Pierre Gasly, to determine who will be the teammate of Max Verstappen in 2020.
