F1 | Gasly: ​​“Now I can't make mistakes”

The weekend into Bahrain it was surprising for the young driver of the Toro Rosso: sixth in qualifying and fourth in the race. According to some, the 22-year-old could even replace Daniel Ricciardo to the Red Bull.

However, Pierre Gasly, prefers to keep his feet on the ground and regarding his probable move to the Austrian team, he commented: “I don't want to think about it now, but I'll analyze everything a little later”.

Gasly's path to F1 wasn't easy: he won the GP2 title in 2016, but Helmut Marko  sent him to Japanese Super Formula instead, deciding he wasn't ready for F1:

“My road here hasn't been easy, but in the end I've always been in the top three in all the junior series I've done –Gasly said Now I'm with very experienced and talented riders and I can't go wrong. It was a very important experience to be on the grid next to Daniel Ricardo and Valtteri Bottas, I have been in F1 for a long time while for me it was the seventh grand prix, I have a lot to learn, but Bahrain helped me a lot.".

As for what Marko told him after Bahrain, Gasly responded: “He said I had a great race, but I already knew that! The smile on Helmut's face was really amazing to see.".

For now, Gasly is an important part of Toro Rosso and the Honda, the Japanese car manufacturer that is recovering after the difficult partnership with McLaren.

“Honda has made great progress, but it is difficult to compare it with other manufacturers -Gasly added- I don't want to mention the numbers, but it's obvious that they've made a big step forward.".
