Pierre Gasly: "Disappointing to be disqualified in Shanghai"

@DPPI

Pierre Gasly (Alpine), before the Japanese Grand Prix: “After two challenging first races despite the opportunities, I’m looking forward to getting back on track for the first triple of the year. It was obviously disappointing to be disqualified in Shanghai for a technical non-compliance, especially as we were just outside the top ten. However, our goal is to bounce back this weekend in Japan, a country I know very well and have loved since my time in Super Formula. Suzuka is one of the most beautiful circuits in Formula 1, and the 'S' of the first sector form one of the best sequences on the calendar. It's a technical and fast challenge that really tests the car and the drivers. The Japanese fans are also unique, which makes the event even more special.
