Gasly on the phone with Vettel for a long time: ''He always gives good advice''

Pierre Gasly did not have much time to enjoy his victory. The Tuscan Grand Prix is just around the corner, but the Frenchman has had little sleep between his victory and the new race weekend.

''Slowly but surely I am starting to realise what I have achieved. This is completely crazy, of course. Since I crossed the line I have hardly had time to land it. I hope to get some sleep tonight, but I'll keep everything together for Sunday. After that Grand Prix I will sleep well I think'', says Gasly opposite the French L'Equipe.

Gasly has had a tough period after his relegation at Red Bull Racing and the loss of his good friend Anthoine Hubert. The fact that he is now so much in the spotlight of all sorts of greats is new to Gasly. Football players like Mbappé, Neymar and Giroud already sent him a message, but the contact with Sebastian Vettel is also special.

Gasly is the successor to Vettel, who last won for Toro Rosso in 2008. ''He said I deserved the victory. If a four-time world champion says that to you, that's special. Especially when Lewis Hamilton does the same. But I have to get back to work, because I have a race next Sunday'', concludes the driver of AlphaTauri.
