Gasly: ​​“I probably need to change my driving style”

Pierre Gasly (Red Bull) continues his work of discovering his mount. Saturday during qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, the Frenchman achieved the sixth time, his best performance after two failed first meetings.

The 2016 GP2 Series champion still lost nearly nine tenths to his teammate Max Verstappen. “Sixth was our goal anyway, indicates she carries the number 10. We can be satisfied. It's a complicated weekend, I'm not fully satisfied with my driving. »

The new Red Bull recruit explains that the acceleration phases are the most delicate with the RB15. « I have trouble exiting corners. I struggle with the car, I'm spinning the wheels and having difficulty getting the power to pass.

I probably need to change my riding style, reveals the Norman. JI have to work with the team to find the right path to make the car more suited to my needs. Even if the settings are slightly different from those of Max (Verstappen, his teammate. Editor’s note), you can see that I struggle more with the car.

Furthermore, I am also a little more aggressive when I accelerate; that doesn't help the situation. There was no problem last year with the Toro Rosso, adds Pierre Gasly at the microphone of Sky Sports F1. CThat's why I have to change the way I drive in order to get the most out of the car. »
