Pierre Gasly hopes to bounce back in Hungary this weekend

Out of the points after a puncture in the final laps of the British Grand Prix, Pierre Gasly came away from his British weekend frustrated. The Norman nevertheless draws the positive, specifying that he understood why his car lacked performance at Silverstone.

“We understood why it didn’t work at Silverstone, explains Gasly. There were new tires with new constructions and it must have had more impact than we thought. The fact that the weekend was more condensed to play also. Here with three sessions, everything should return to normal. »

The Frenchman also had the opportunity to talk about his love for the Hungaroring, often compared to the Monaco circuit but without the walls.

“I always enjoy the Budapest circuit. It is a very technical track with many turns and few straight lines. For us, we have always been comfortable here. Now, we have to confirm tomorrow with the understanding of these new tires. »

Ninth in the drivers' standings with 39 points, Pierre Gasly's objective is to help Alpha Tauri achieve what it has never done before: rank better than 6th in the teams' standings.

“Alpha Tauri has never done better than 6th in the constructors' championship. My goal is to offer them 5th place in front Alpine et Aston Martin. But it doesn't just depend on me."

Last year, Pierre Gasly had to retire in Hungary following several mechanical problems.
