Pierre Gasly hopes for "better performance" during French Grand Prix
Red Bull have had a disappointing weekend so far but will hope for more success in today's race. Pierre Gasly qualified in 9th and thinks that he was on the wrong strategy during qualifying. He will hope to make up some places during his home race later on today. Coming into the weekend it was thought that this circuit would suit Red Bull but they have struggled here so far.
"We probably didn't expect to be that close from the midfield coming here with the upgrades we have," said Gasly to Autosport.
"I think the others have also been pushing and we probably make a step but the others are also recovering and finding new parts and I think McLaren seem to clearly have made quite a step.
"Clearly, on our side, there was something we did wrong for this qualifying but looking at Max and the gap with McLaren, they are quite close so hopefully on other tracks, we can have better overall performance.
"I don't have the answer now."
McLaren are looking very fast and could even threated Max Verstappen who is starting the race in 4th. The team will hope that they can get both cars to finish high in the points and that their race run is better than what they have shown so far.
