Pierre Gasly believes that with the Honda engine Red Bull will push Ferrari

Pierre Gasly believes that with the Honda engine Red Bull are able to compete alongside Ferrari. Honda seems to have created a very competitive engine and Red Bull seem confident that if they can sort their chassis out then they will be able to compete at the top of the grid. 

“We saw Ferrari is really strong especially in top speed, they still have some advantage over us,” he said to RaceFans. “But the gap compared to last year is a lot smaller.

“This is what we need to look at, and also the [chassis] development. I think the gap definitely is a lot smaller than last year and if they keep going like this for sure we’re going to catch them at some point. So we’re pretty happy with them.”

“I think so far it’s been quite impressive,” he said. “It doesn’t feel at all like it did the first year, the guys work together so all the signs are really positive whether it’s on performance, whether it’s on the relationship between the two.

“I think they’ve got a good development plan through the year. We know Honda is pushing massively they show some really good gains compared to last year. I think we are pleased with that and of course, we keep pushing them to get even more but that’s what we should have for the rest of the year.”

Red Bull will hope that they can keep making improvements and continue their target of regularly getting on the podium.
