Gasly: ​​“I don’t want to destroy Max”

As he prepares to take the place of Daniel Ricciardo in Red Bull Racing in 2019, Pierre Gasly seeks to appease minds by delaying as much as possible an inevitable confrontation with Max Verstappen, his future teammate.

If the Frenchman is 22 years old while the Dutchman has 20 springs, it is the latter who is the most experienced on the grid with 4 victories in 75 Grands Prix since the current resident of Toro Rosso is only playing his first full season in F1.

“You always want to have time to get used to everything, but I hope that I will quickly manage to work well with the team and on the car, commented Pierre Gasly in Ziggo Sport. JI've known the Red Bull Racing team for a while and, at their request, I've already been on the simulator. »

“I do not wish to destroy Max. We are both drivers and I will obviously give my best. I want to be the best F1 driver on the grid and he wants the same thing. It's a good thing to have someone on your side who is fast. It forces us to surpass ourselves. We are going to experience great moments”, predicted the 2016 GP2 Series champion.
