Gasly very disappointed after “errors that cost dearly”

On cloud nine after his victory at Monza, Pierre Gasly confirmed his very good form from the first free practice sessions. A place in Q3 this Saturday seemed reserved for him. Ultimately, the story was quite different and the Frenchman was knocked out in Q1.

" VS'is a very disappointing qualifying session after very good practice. We have taken a step back. We made some mistakes that we have never made this season ". Errors that are expensive when you beat in the middle of the grid » where the gaps are often “ very weak ».

As for the difficulties encountered in qualifying, the Norman thinks he has an idea. “ We made some changes after Free Practice 3 and they didn't go our way unfortunately. We lost grip in particular. We are looking to understand the problem. ».

Pierre Gasly notably explained that his electric motors have “ had some problems » what made him « lose power » on his fast lap and thus let a tenth slip away. But there is no question of accusing anyone. “ I don't blame anyone. But we, as a team, didn't do a good job ».

This Sunday, the new Grand Prix winner hopes to achieve good tire management. According to him it will be “ one of the keys » of the race as the wear and tear is significant at Mugello while hoping to have “ overtaking opportunities on this circuit where it is not easy to overtake ».
