F1 | AlphaTauri, Pierre Gasly: “I couldn't ask for a better weekend”
"It was nice to finish ahead of the Ferraris, but I want to give fifth place in the constructors' championship to the team" added the Frenchman
Gasly is there and doesn't disappoint! The French driver is once again the protagonist of a solitary race which sees him finish in fourth place as the first of the others. A result also the result of Pierre's efforts in qualifying, where he managed to get in front of both Ferraris, fast yes, but not enough to stay within Pierre's lead. The Honda engine and the influence of mother Red Bull certainly help the performance of the AT02, but Gasly is always there, he never disappoints and the highlights of his day remain that attempted attack on Perez, when the Safety Car returned, to try to take third position.
"I'm really happy, fourth place is a great result and we couldn't ask for a better weekend. Everything was under control with Charles behind, I managed to go away and manage the whole race well from fourth position – Gasly confirmed – this weekend the car was competitive, both in qualifying yesterday and in the race today, finishing ahead of the Ferraris is always nice. Now we are equal on points with Alpine, my goal is to deliver fifth place in the championship to Franz and the whole team, it would be a well-deserved Christmas present. We will continue to push for it. Taking into account how the team is working, I think we will be able to compete in the next races".
