Another “positive” day for Gasly

Already on the track this Friday, Pierre Gasly was back on the Sakhir track for a new pre-season session. Like the day before, the winner of the 2020 Italian Grand Prix was able to drive a lot.

He thus completed 87 new laps bringing his total to 167 since the start of the weekend and above all signed the second time of the day only behind Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes). " It was another positive day for me, recognized Pierre Gasly.

We were able to complete the program with the car loaded with fuel that we wanted to achieve at the start of the session. We were then able to complete a few quick stints with the softer tires. I feel really good with the car especially compared to last year at the same time. There are definitely things to improve but I think we are in a good position with one more day of riding to come ».

Very happy with his performance, the Norman also highlighted the good performance of the Honda engine in his AT02. “ It works really well and we haven't encountered any reliability problems which is a good sign. I can't wait to discover it in the race ».

Pierre Gasly will have one last opportunity to ride this Sunday morning before the first race weekend of the season (March 26-28).
