Pierre Gasly has called for more direction from Red Bull after he has struggled to perform for his new team in his first two races. Gasly has been consistently behind his teammate Max Verstappen and there are already calls for him to be replaced. Gasly has admitted that he felt faster in last years Toro Rosso and that the Red Bull is not set up for his style of driving. 

“I need to find some direction with the set-up and see how the engineers can help me to make it feel more suitable to my driving,” Gasly told Autosport.

“And also see what I can improve in terms of driving style. I still feel like I cannot really do what I want inside the car. It’s just the fact that at the moment I just feel that I cannot really push, and the car doesn’t react as I would expect.

“There is more potential, but we need to see how we can unlock it.”

Gasly needs to perform a lot better if he is to keep his seat at Red Bull. 

“For sure I’m not satisfied,” he said. “I think there are some positives, but we are not where we want to be, and not where I want to be for sure.

“The feeling [in qualifying] was quite difficult with the car, and it was quite similar [in the race] as well. It’s time to work with the guys, see what I can change, and adapt my driving to this car, which is pretty difficult and unpredictable.”

The Frenchman will be desperate to improve his performance and get some results for his new team in China.
