Gasly satisfied with P6 - But admits he still has work to do

Pierre Gasly has revealed his satisfaction at scoring more points at the Spanish Grand Prix, finishing sixth, despite his teammate Max Verstappen making it onto the podium for the second time this season.

This P6 was his second of the season and the eight points scored moved him away from the midfield battle, leaving him on 21 points.

Whilst Gasly was overall satisfied with his performance, there were still parts he wasn’t altogether pleased about.

After the race he said: “The first stint was ok but towards the end I started to struggle with grip and degradation.

“We had a lot of rubber debris in the front wing which meant I was sliding around so the pace just dropped from the second stint onwards.

“I tried to push as much as I could but I couldn’t keep up with the Ferraris in front of me.

“At the Safety Car restart, I tried a move on Charles but I couldn’t make it stick. It was a pretty good fight and I think at the start we actually touched in Turn 3. In the end, it’s good to score some points.”
