We were having the same classes and going to train together every night.“We were racing together and we had our moments, we had a couple of clashes on track as well but I think we had the respect for each other.
Pierre Gasly has unveiled a special F1 helmet design he will wear at this weekend’s Belgian GP to pay tribute to his close friend Anthoine Hubert. The 24-year-old described the incident in his native language and hit out at the burglars by calling them "disrespectful" and "despicable". Standing in for title contending Sébastien Buemi at the two New York ePrix, Gasly produced an admirable display, beating temporary teammate Nicolas Prost in both races. Since I was in karting, I [have] always fought for championships and for victories and pole positions. He has translated that form into 2020 and has been one of the standout performers of the season at the re-badged AlphaTauri team.In the opening six rounds of the delayed season, Gasly has twice finished inside the top-seven and has made it into the Q3 on three occasions, something teammate Gasly’s form, coupled with a challenging start to the season for Albon alongside But speaking exclusively to Crash.net as part of an wide-ranging interview ahead of this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix at “I’m not really thinking about it,” Gasly explained.“That’s what I want. “I have so many good memories,” Gasly added. Gasly is currently 13th in the drivers' championship. I just need to be fast and we will see what they [Red Bull] decide.”Much like Albon, Gasly also struggled to match the level of Verstappen’s performances during his brief stint at Red Bull, particularly when it came to qualifying on Saturdays.Having rediscovered his confidence with a series of impressive displays at AlphaTauri over the past 12 months - including beating Albon to P7 at this year’s British Grand Prix - Gasly is confident he would be better-placed for a second bite of the cherry at Red Bull.“I think now we are in a much better position because we know what didn’t work, so I don’t think we would make the same mistakes if we are to do it again,” he added.“There is unfinished business with them - I think we both know it.”Albon has been backed by both his team principal Christian Horner and Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko in recent weeks, but Gasly was given similar assurances last season before he was unceremoniously dropped.When pressed on his desire to return to the very front of the grid, Gasly replied: “I think you said it yourself (smiles)... You know my target.“I am someone who is competitive and I want the fastest car possible in my hands.
Pierre Gasly is urging his fans to keep an eye out for items that may belong to him appearing on selling sites, after his home in France was ransacked. Gasly returned to Toro Rosso for the remainder of the campaign, with Alex Albon going the other way to replace him at the senior squad.Back in familiar surroundings at Toro Rosso, Gasly enjoyed a strong end to the year, which was capped off with his maiden F1 podium thanks to a brilliant second-place finish in Brazil. “We lived together since the age of 13. In an Instagram post on Monday, Pierre Gasly confirmed that his house had been ransacked while he was racing in the Spanish GP. That’s something I always respected in him.” The total or partial reproduction of text, photographs or illustrations is not permitted in any form.New Williams F1 owners completing a "full review" of team - RussellAlbon has been ‘fighting with’ Red Bull F1 car in 2020
