Red Bull Racing's Pierre Gasly might be new to the team, but he's known his new teammate Max Verstappen for a long time now, and the Frenchman thinks his relationship with Verstappen is a good thing for the team.

In an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca, Gasly went into detail about the relationship he has with Verstappen, whom the newspaper dubbed as an 'enfant terrible'. Gasly explained how he will deal with the 21-year-old.

"Max and I get along nicely," the 22-year-old explained.

"We've known each other since 2010, we had some good battles in our karting days. We learned a lot from each other in those days. We respect each other and we have a good relationship. That's an advantage for the team, because we can work together perfectly."

Whether he's learned from Verstappen in F1, he couldn't really say.

"We haven't spent much time together yet. We only saw each other on the first day of testing. When the season starts, I can really see how he takes on a weekend."
