The first part of the 2019 Formula 1 season had Pierre Gasly as a Red Bull driver. The Frenchman arrived with high expectations after a great 2019 at Toro Rosso, but the results were not as expected and halfway through the championship he was replaced by Alexander Albon. The one who spoke about the French driver’s brief passage through the team was Max Verstappen.
“It’s true that when Pierre joined us, he wanted to adjust right away instead of taking time to study everything.”Verstappen told Dutch television.
In addition, Verstappen believes that Gasly’s accident in the preseason tests did not play very in his favor: “The tactic didn’t work. As a result, a lot of things went wrong for him and he was under a lot of pressure. The fact that he had an accident in the winter tests didn’t make things any easier either. “
