Gasly-Hülkenberg: the battle of the leaders for 6th place Constructors

Nico Hulkenberg et Pierre Gasly have clearly decided to take the fight for 6th place in the constructors' championship very far! The German (4th) and the Frenchman (6th) have indeed signed a high-flying qualifying session, to the point of having both invited themselves into the top 6 on the track, among the usual big guns of the championship. If they were initially to be escorted by Max Verstappen (5th) on the grid, the three-place grid penalty imposed on Nico Hülkenberg made him drop back to 7th position, at the same time as it promoted Pierre Gasly to 5th place.

Oh there, easy autohebdo. This fight is only ever for 6th place in the constructors' standings. And then Gasly??? Is he really the best French driver at the moment...I don't think so, Ocon is clearly superior to him and I think we'll be able to check that next season with Ocon in his new team.
