While Max Verstappen was trying to win the Hungarian Grand Prix in his Red Bull, Pierre Gasly struggled once again. The Frenchman is not happy with his performance in Hungary and says he must improve after the summer break.
"I am not satisfied with my race, it was very difficult. Friday went well for us, but after FP3 I lost a lot of speed. Qualifying was, therefore, difficult yesterday and that was also the case today. I also had a bad start, which didn't make it any easier. I attacked as much as possible, but I slid in all directions and struggled with grip all afternoon. It's time to take a break, analyse everything and come back stronger in the second half," Gasly told Ziggo Sport.
Gasly was once again miles behind his Red Bull teammate. The Frenchman knows performances must improve after the summer break as he looks to prepare for the Belgian Grand Prix.
"It is clear that I have to be more ahead during qualifying, but I was very happy with the car during FP1 and 2. In FP3, I suddenly struggled with it I have to understand what went wrong and what went well. Then I have to come back to Spa well," Gasly added.
